I had to stop in March as I found it traumatized me too much to spend time here.
Just getting on with life, working, taking a few trips, exercising and W and I are expecting our second baby this coming December.
Son is 10 months old now and an absolute joy to have around.
Still treading carefully with my W though much of the dreadful emotion has subsided. I don't think I would ever call myself a "success story" for fear of complacency and/or the #*!# hitting the fan again. Absolutely nothing is certain in this life.
I do not believe for a nanosecond that all marriages should be saved. Some really do need to end especially if you're grossly incompatible. Either way, DB is a great way to deal with the initial stages of a marital meltdown but is not itself sufficient (in my opinion) to rebuild afterwards. For one thing, both of you have to want to remain married. I can only speak from my own experience of course.
Still spending lots of time with my wife which is a good thing.
Hope all the guys that helped me in my darkest hour are keeping well. You know who you are .
best,
