I like that better too.

Again, we have no idea what she is thinking now. It may be the D bomb, it may not. It is all mind reading at best. And even if it is right, it is just information. It's what we do, and the choices that we make, with that information that counts.

I heard the D bomb a couple of different times, I heard that my W could never forgive me, didn't feel the way that she used to about me, wasn't in love with me (even 15, 16 months into it), that she didn't see how our M could be fixed, how she could ever trust me, how I could ever trust her, how she and I simply 'don't work', how we have nothing in common and spending time together is like a 'knife in the eye', how maybe we could reconnect 'someday', etc., etc., etc.

And here I am. No guarantees, but what we do and our choices matter... and will have an impact.
