Dan - I've been reading your posts for quite a while, and have posted only once I think.
I want you to know something. The way you are handling yourself at this point is impressive. I am proud of how well you are doing and how much you care about your kids. Most women would be thrilled to be with such a caring, sincere man. You are an inspiration.
If I had one wish for everyone here, it's that their WAS would see in their LBS spouse what the rest of us see without even having met them.
It's such a shame.
Thanks BTM. Almost brought tears to my eyes.
I always try to be a good man and try to do the right thing. Even in this situation. My neighbors think I am nuts and that our situation is nuts. They think that most people who are getting divorced can't stand each other and constantly fight. Until recently, we haven't fought at all, and even now, our "fights" are just short arguments. No big deal really.
I'm glad I can be an inspiration to others, even though I don't feel like I am. I also feel that others here are an inspiration to me. I'm just afraid that my inspirational attitude will eventually lead to the ultimate downfall of my M. Not that anything else could save it anyway. What I did for the first 6 months was absolutely wrong, so what can standing up and being a man hurt.
Thank you very much BTM, your kind words are very much appreciated.
