AM I TURNING INTO THE WAW? Somebody please tell me this is natural and will pass if there is some success. I know what I will do. The Kids' security and development will trump these feelings, but they do have me nervous.
I went through this turn and it can be quite intoxicating. Just keep in mind that every relationship is complicated and imperfect. You will likely find yourself swinging back and forth, one day missing the marriage and the next intoxicated by the future possibilities.
I would seek to find a balance in the two, where you are open to either outcome. The Buddhist's love to use the term 'Equanimity', which is defined as evenness of mind, especially under stress. This is the state where you are in the best position to make a wise decision about your (and your kids) future.
