Ah, I see W's guilt is rearing its head! My W did the same thing only it was after we told the kids. "I've hurt your terribly and I hate myself for doing that to you." Of course she had a chance to put on the breaks but chose not to.
The emotional toll this crap takes on everyone in this sitch is just dreadful! What the heck did people do in the old days? Oh that's right, by the time they got to the point of resentment and wanting out of their marriages, they were already dead!
I guess that is yet another downfall of living longer.

It's easy to find our bottom, it is our top that requires cultivation.
Every rough spot adds to our emotional constitution. -Barney Fife
