Then it really hit me: he's to young to remember us as 'together', he will never know his mom and dad as married- that kills me.


There's a fine line in DBing I think... and it's tied up in the above quote. You can't abandon all hope... otherwise what's the point? At the same time you can't cling to that hope and allow it to paralyze you. The mindset is more a matter of keeping hope and faith (and lots and lots and lots of faith) that things will work out and will work out as you want them to. But realizing that if they don't you will be ok, your kids will be ok, and you will thrive. This isn't a death sentence nor is it the end of all creation. It's almost Zen... when you stop being so invested in the outcome you get closer to the outcome you want. And eventually how you want them to work out may, or may not, involve your husband.

And it can always be worse smile I'm 99% certain my W will get a New Year's kiss, but it won't be from me and it will likely be from a man she is desperately trying to attract. But that's her choice and path...

Though watching her try to attract him and watching him ignore her is starting to become good theater...
