Labug, so glad to see I was right smile
I wrote on my thread, earlier in the week, that from what I know about you, you will push through this, take a learning point and emerge stronger & wiser. You are already so doing this.

I see a lot of similarities in the sitch and how we have been in the past. These circumstances only serve to make us better people. It's just such a shame that the WAS doesn't take advantage of the time to do some growing too. (Maybe they only do that when they have really lost us?) I've just passed my LBS two year mark and know I am getting closer to asking the same question whether he wants to fix or file. I am just not quite strong enough right now. Part of it relates to communicating my needs. I have always found it strange that I can ask for what I want in all areas of my life apart from in Rs. But one day I will stand for my Self as you have and then move past the answer.

I particularly liked your "not be friends". I have enough friends in my life too.
