Going through the thread, you have been advised to "drop the rope" many times, just not maybe in those specific words. It means to detach yourself from the roller coaster that your WAS is on.
It means to focus on yourself and GAL. YOu're right that your mind is your worst enemy. Fill your life with things that are fulfilling and not negative. Stop living for your spouse and live for you. That's what dropping the rope means.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
