Does it sound right that I am planning to respectfully, with quiet dignity, self-esteem, and common courtesy stand for my marriage?

Not AT ALL. You decide what is best for you. Standing is something that does not have to be announced. You just do it.

I don't plan to discuss it with anyone

Good that will keep the nasayers at bay. You know...the ones that all seem to have an opinion.

just letting myself live

F'in A! Yeah...this is what it is about. You get it. You really get it girl. Standing does not mean you wallow in your misery. Detachment does not mean that you become cold and desensitized. it means that you "let go" that you go and live your life. Good for you IB...good for you!

He will NEVER be the same - and I know this

No and neither will YOU. Let this process change you IB. Always look to do better. Always strive to be the person you want to be. Then no matter what you will be happy.

I have found a yellow lab puppy

I own a golden doodle (no comments please Grit), which are very much like a golden lab. Great dog. Not the shiney tool in the shed if ya know what I mean but good dogs.

Now...re: your H's letter. It is MLC Script. It is his crisis. Ignore it. If something he wrote stings..well then look at it and change it. Otherwise, ignore it and go live your life.

Yeah...i know...my W is in her own world as well. Remember the old saying that people's perception becomes their reality. Well his is a little warped right now. Nothing you can do but...let go and be happy.
