It warms my heart to see all of these responses. I really didn't expect any.
Rick, I have read all of Michele's books in a failed attempt to save a previous marriage. I'm not a quitter, and never would have believed it, but in hindsight I'm glade I didn't succeed.
Del, our feelings are very mutual. She is completely torn.
Lucky, sadly so. From experience, the people here will most likely not succeed (the odds are against you) but because you are here you will grow and learn. Your lives will be fuller when the pain subsides.
kml, Asian/American. The general belief is, Asian woman + American man = slut. Not my interpretation, an actual statement. The age gap is about the same as her previous marriage. Not having children is her choice, I am okay either way.
I just don't know what is the right thing to do. I have the strength to move on, but I don't want to. In her heart, I know she wants to be together. Should I continue to let her know I'm not giving up. Or leave her alone and see what happens.
