She's in MLC, but I was weak. Now what?

PEI, I too have made more personal changes in the last year than the combined years of my marriage. Stupid that it takes something like this to be a catalyst. But the complacency feeds on the familiarity and daily proximity to a partner who you assume is shoulder to shoulder battling the external challenges to a life together.

Marriage was another accomplishment like graduating from school. Graduating to adulthood. I did the work. I put in the time. I have the ring and license as proof. Yet no one can take your diploma away. The accomplishments are not supposed to be undone.

TG, this betrayal is unique. It is happening to me.
