Brit, this is the essence of DB for me too.

And the reason I love this board is that the majority of people are saying the only outcome you need is to be a happier more stable version of you. Because when we come here we're broken disillusioned desperate and in so much pain. What I've gotten from DB is how to manage those feelings so that you don't destroy whatever bit of communication and friendship that could be there between you and your ex. You'll feel better for that either way especially if you have kids. And maybe they'll take a second look. But whatever happens you would have used this time not crying your eyes out and feeling sorry for yourself but learning and growing and setting yourself up for a great future post divorce.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
