Well,theres nothing special about me really, but I loved him and put up with his infidelities and emotional reserve for 28 years without complaint- I guess I got what I deserved by not having enough self respect. I agree,so far Ive been nice and accomodating ,swallowing everything I want to say,I am really going to make an effort to be polite but formal from now on and keep my distance after the divorce.Thanks snodderly.
