I think the answer to your question MHL is that when the pain of divorcing becomes less than the pain of standing that is when the you start to approach the right mind set.

An internal time line is a mistake, I believe, if I asked you a year ago if you would be doing what you are doing today what would you have said?

You don't know what will happen in the future.
I mean you or your wife could be in a car accident next month.
How would that change everything?
