See what I think is taking the whole stand for yourself thing a couple steps PAST the intention. Self respect IS a good thing, and like flirting...good in proper moderation.
We can ALL take self respect too far as well and turn it into narcissism.
Standing for yourself is awesome. Thumbs up. Using it as an excuse to move past your marriage however, and justifying it that you two never really belong together and you just 'flicked' on the lightswitch of enlightenment after 15 years of marriage?
Not so thumbs up.
I admitt to jumping to conclusions. I am glad that you admitt to showing us what we know about you. : )
No regrets PEI. That is all I ask of you.
I do not want your thanks if your chocie is hasty and ill thought out. I do not want your thanks for bad judgement because it feels like control to you.
Were you really wrong for 15 years?
I doubt that, I ultimately think, that you are letting your fear control you, and convincing yourself otherwise.
