And I feel so darn helpless right now. My STBXH comes out into the family room, where I was sitting at the table working on a presentation I'm giving to my quilt guild.

He asks me about my plans for today. Talks to me so kindly. And as he is leaving for the day, I just want a hug, for things to be back to normal.

But I don't move a muscle, I say nothing. Because I know he is happy thinking he is moving on to a place where he thinks he will be happier.

I have no idea what his status is with OW. I know she isn't the real problem. But I also know that I will never bring up the topic of reconcilliation again. It would have to be his idea, his desire.

As he drives away I am washed over with sadness. And YET I KNOW I am as strong as I can be. I will keep moving on to make that beautiful life for me.

Thanks for being here, and thanks for letting me vent.
