Thanks, StaciG. This is one hell of a roller-coaster ride, though. Just when I think I'm doing OK, something happens or I will look at a picture of the 2 of us and I'm reduced to a weeping pile of bones.
The part of this that is the hardest for me to deal with is the way my W has completely cut me out of her life with surgical precision. She shows absolutely no remorse, no sorrow, no second-guessing about anything. During our entire marriage we would always contact each other throughout the day just to say hello, to see how the other's day was going, to say "I love you"...things that (supposedly) happily married couples do. Today - nothing. We barely speak to each other. But she is on the computer from the time she gets home from work until late at night, and alternates from that to her cell phone. I look at her and say, "Who is this woman?"
This morning I took the trash can from her in-home office to empty and saw some familiar papers in it; she had thrown away cards and love letters I had given to her over the years. That nailed me. So today I am in the "Is this marriage worth saving?" phase.
Looks like I need to come up with a signature for my posts. Watch This Space...
