Fear is a biggie, but what is the absolute worst that can happen? She is gone and guess what? You are still here, but no better for it at all.


being "no better for it at all" truly would be THE WORST that can happen.

But regardless of what SHE does, you can grow mightily from this ordeal. You can be a better man, no matter what she does.

That's a lot of what DBing is about, in my opinion. That we work on US first, and second and third...and by setting an example, over time,

we tend to get the better out of others. Not everyone. And not all marriages are saved. But none are worse.

And most important, WE ARE BETTER PEOPLE after all this...

so make this painful nightmare yield something positive,

by becoming the best YOU that YOU CAN BE, and hey, that actually IS within your control.
