I too get angry to the fact we are left with the responsibilities but it makes you stronger in the end. The W was at least offering her shoulder for me when I had to put my akita down earlier this week. The dogs have always been my dogs, she has not really been in to them as much as me. How many dogs do you have? im down to 2 one akita and one mastiff. Ya I am a big dog kinda guy....
As far as the selfish behavior, I am trying to listen a little more to the vets, and try and understand my W and what she is going through on her own.. I am making progress letting the anger subside a bit, I know you got angry about last night, but you have to stay strong.
Hi DSH,
I have 2, Beagle(Old) and English Springer, the Beagle was hers before we married and the Springer was ours. She LOVES her dogs, but her SELF love is more important now.
I did stay strong DSH, I don't think anyone of us is not strong. Us humans are resilient. Even when I screw up now and then and show weakness, I have the strength to let it go. Thankfully.
I understand my W's feelings and why she felt the need to bail. At one point I was desperate to change her mind, now I'm not. Hopeful? Yes. Now, not so sure anymore. I Just can't wrap my head around trying to save this marriage anymore by being "dark" or waiting to see how I should contact her or when or if deciding even if it's necessary anymore. It's just starting to wear on me and it's getting old.
