Am I optimistic or crazy?

At the end of last week, I purchased three DB coaching sessions, but I have not yet scheduled a time to talk to the coach. I've considered it many times but never did it. I figured I had nothing to lose at this point!

In the past week, I've experienced a wide range of emotions about my possible divorce. I've had these thoughts:

*He wants a divorce? Fine! He can have one! He'll regret it one day.
*There's still hope for us. I won't give up.
*What is WRONG with him? He can't really want this!
*Do I REALLY want to be married to someone who would put me through this?
*I can fix this. I don't know how, but I can fix this.
*How could he be so disloyal? How could he cut and run?
*Everything happens for a reason, right? Well, I'd LOVE to know the reason for all THIS!
*Should I just let him go and move on?
*Friends tell me to "do what is right for me." What if I don't know what that is, even after I ask myself repeatedly?

Am I being optimistic by continuing to hope for reconciliation? Am I being optimistic by still believing that the marriage could be saved?

Or am I crazy for having the foolish hope that this will not end in divorce? Am I crazy to think that H will change his mind and want to work on our marriage?

If you ever read my thread (and I mean if you just stop in to see what my father has said), then I would LOVE it if you would PLEASE post your thoughts. I get lots of comments and advice from family and friends, but they can't see past what would make things easier for me in the short term.

Optimistic? Crazy? You decide.
