I try to keep busy, I know it's for the best. Just feel very lonely at times. Friends and family have their own problems or axes to grind ("divorce him, he's not worth it..." /" just you wait, he'll come back in time...").
You frighten me when you mention your first wife: "I was done, wanted to find the spark in my life..."Sadly, that's one of the things I've been hearing from my H. I suppose there's a big chance he'll never again want to see me as wife material, he's stopped considering me that way.That's hard to accept, it isn't as if we fought daily. Until he turned towards this OW, we'd been happy together for 17 years (and 3 children). I mean, he gave every appearance and account of being happy, and (when he took time out from work to relax) extremely happy. And said so.
I'll read your linked article. And your stooory. Have a good weekend. NCU
