NSWTD, I just had to chime in. Yes, it looks like I'm about to get D. And I felt exactly the same way you did -- wanted the stats to be more in my favor.

I wrote a year ago today in my diary (long before I heard of DB) that we have a "loveless, empty M".

Today, I feel vibrant and alive. I feel like I gave 100% or more to try to work things out. I feel like I have some tools to grow and move on. I feel like I can leave this D without the bitterness that I always hated that I saw in divorcees.

The reading posts, stories, ideas, advices, IS serving to making me better NOT bitter. It's worth a lot, a whole lot, even if my M cannot be saved.

Tad, I read everything on your thread as if it is directed to me, I have always appreciated your honesty and love the advice you are given. I need to heed it too!!!
