Telemark you said: I'm not envious of the 3-ring circus my W has created, but it still feels...well, just off...that she is living this new life. Probably a pretty screwed-up life, but after being with someone every day for 11+ years, it does sting to think of her going through the day-to-day without me. But believe me, that's getting easier to bear."

That is a feeling i struggle with every day..... How it seems so easy for WAS to start over, move on, without us. I don't know their pain, but I'm beginning to realize they do have their own ---and I am trying as hard as possible to empathize with them.

It's not easy -- and I'm so glad it's getting easier for you. I have no doubt if you want a new year's date, you will easily find one smile Good men = solid men are becoming extinct. Like u guys said about the ladies -- I've noticed some men on this board with a devotion to their families that is beyond amazing. (Telemark, JB, gunny, immediately pop to mind --- and there are so many others, I'm just in bed, and tired!!)
