Lord have mercy, DBS, I'd WONDERED what happened to you..but then, I'd not had much time here, either.
I know this is hard on you, but maybe it's time to let the "end" unfold, and see where it goes? That's what I'm getting from your posts..you're tired of all the drama and just want some peace.
No more games, you're saying you've had enough...you are the ONLY one who can say you've had enough..no one can tell you otherwise, as they cannot live your life, nor tell you what to do.
Oh me...I feel for you; you've done all you can do, it seems.
Please take care of yourself throughout, no matter what happens from here on out.
Remember that once you go forward, things cannot go back to what they were; be SURE this is what you want..it is a major change that will happen.
Your wife will find the rules of the game will definitely change as you will no longer be responsible for her.
It may get very interesting, as human nature dictates always wanting what a person can't have, and she will definitely be unable to have you after a divorce..well, if you stick to that, my friend.
I'd continued to pray for you to have direction, and for you to be ok, regardless of whatever comes about.
Hugs to you, HB
Remember, as each person is different, every MLC/Transition is different..what works for one may not work for another. Most of the time it is trial and error for ALL involved.
