Shel, this is my first time posting on your thread but I'm very sorry for what happened. It seems not only is your xh totally oblivious to the immense pain you're in, but also seems to have no class or tact whatsoever by proposing to the OW like he did. Just think, with him being the person he is now her loss is your gain. She will most likely go through the same thing you are once the "shine" wears off of her. Take heart, there are better things ahead of you whether he wakes up or not.

Also, someone posted something about if there were a wave of women leaving their families. There are. Tad and I can attest to that. It defies everything I thought I knew about human nature, but 60-70% of D's are filed by women nowadays. I don't know the breakdown, but there sure seems to be a huge spike around 35-45.
