WOW...everyone has offered some good questions and good answers. Food for thought any which way you look at it. What I find compelling is that it doesnt matter how and why we got here, we got here. That in itself is a testamonial to who we've all become. If you stop and think about it, do you know how many people don't EVER get there? They just continue to go thru life as if they have no accountability for anything and that's why the problems they carry are portable.
Trust is earned; it doesn't happen over night. We have the same lack of trust with our WAS. Will it happen again if we say or do the wrong thing? And we can slip - we aren't perfect.
I will not let a stupid piece of paper define who I've become. I've worked too hard. The grass isn't greener. The WAS's have no idea what the word happiness means; just a blurred perception. Just my 2 cents.
FOBD...you are strong and I know you will get thru this. The pain is unbearable at times, but I promise you it will get better. It's going to take some time and you give yourself as much time as you need.
Sending HUGS to you my friend!
