I was with and in love with my stbxh for 18 years, married for 10. I never dreamed that things would end this way.
I can relate. And my W's blow-up happened on Jan 3rd. That was the beginning of the end, even though I didn't see D coming. Never thought we'd get here.

That you have to spend time with them and get to know them first.
I have asked them a couple of times if that lady is wearing a wedding ring. That really upset STBXW. I suppose I shouldn't have done it, but I didn't see it as a real big deal at the time.
