Let me point something out that I think got a little lost here.
I'm going to speak for Grit so if Imispeak I hope he corrects me, I also hope that if I got it right he'll mention that too.
He said
Quote:
My marriage was dead. Not over but dead. A new one was my goal or a new me. One would mean I would put that ring back on
I hope you understand that he wasn't saying he was done with his wife at the time. That he was moving on.
You can do that, I'll even cheer you on...after you give your best shot, if that is what you choose to do. Hell all these people will, if you give your best shot...but those accolades should mean...nothing. They're not the reason you do...anything, unless your an attentionwhore.
When he says that his marriage was dead? That he still wanted to be with his wife, BUT that it had to be with a new marriage, new boundaries, guidelines and commitment.
Sometimes a marriage is so broken? That it is better...not quicker, but better to build a new one, and let the old sick broken one...die. Sometimes you even have to kill it.
