CityGirl, you're so right: it is horrible to see your WAS silently, but oh so persistently, detaching from you. I saw it happening for months since the beginning of the year yet kept hoping it was "just a phase" or a downtime for spouse. But while I was trying to keep an M going, he was cutting off ties, one snip at a time. By the time I actually realized he was dropping a bomb on me, he had distanced himself big-time.
Not sure if there's a PA or EA or simply an MLC to blame, but I agree with you: I can't be "just friends" with someone who's decided to ditch his wife and kids after almost 20 years. We -- not just me -- deserve a helluva lot more than that.
