It just struck me that without really realizing it I have moved from 'Oh,God, how do I save my marriage?" to "OK,CD. This is unacceptable. It's time to save your dignity and honor'
The first wass all about her and based in fear in me. The current situation is about me and there is no real fear or anger. It's simply what is right for who I am.
I'm surprised that such a large internal transformation wouldn't be accompanied by an audible "click" sound

All I saw was a lot of sad, regret/remorse, disappointment, relief and happiness. Summary? Sad about the situation and how it may affect D2 Diasappointment that the happy memories I have with W will never be as 'bright' again Remorse that I didn't see how I was contributing to the condition of the M Relief that I am getting free of her social network (part of the problem) and her own issues Happiness that I have this opportunity to learn, recover and improve.
