Happiness, love, commitment are all a choice. NO ONE can give it to us. WE have to give it freely of and to ourselves. Each and every decision we make is OUR OWN responsibility. NO ONE can force us or make us choose destructive actions in our lives, except ourselves.
You will make peace with the painful thoughts of the poor and painful choices your H made when he chose to betray you rather than confront you with his doubts, fears etc, because you will eventually come to see that YOU have NO responsibility in those choices....YOUR responsibility stops at what YOU do.
Pam -- Thanks so much for the reminder! I forget this ALL THE TIME! I need you to keep me focused on what I can change and take responsibility for and what I can't!
