3. No one ever wins in a divorce, no matter how amicable it appears to be. I have seen enough divorced people in the two support groups I am a member of to know that they have this sad, hollowed out look, they never really get over their loss, even if they are the ones who initiated it.
Wish my (and, presumably yours?) wife would learn this. I fear for her that as the newness of her 'new life' wears off, she'll be in the same place. As far as I'm concerned the door would still be open to her, but would she be too scared to come back? Too prideful? And then left to live with the loss? I can only imagine what it would feel like to live with the loss knowing it was YOUR idea originally...
