" I don't feel as betrayed as I would have had my M not been dead for so long prior to her leaving,"
Yeah but you didn't know that. ALL relationships go through that same stage. It doesn't mean their M's are horrible. Usually all it takes is understanding on both parties.
"but I do feel somewhat betrayed in the fact that we were still technically married."
There's no "technically" here. It's either you're married or not. If you start breaking down gray areas, at what point do you stop?
That's just my take. I think you'd feel alot less stress and alot less vigilant if she fessed up in the first place.
The other thing I'm worried about your sitch is that it's common occurance for there to be "false-starts". It happens many times in situations like yours. Sounds like you're going through the renewed honeymoon phase, or at least your W is. But like I said, I really wish you good luck.
