Amazing LIO, absolutely amazing. I realize I was not happy in my marriage either and it has only been a couple of months since H left. But I am still in love with him so I know that I have to go further down this path in order to let go.. It is hard because he wants to be like best friends, but to me emotional intimacy equates with physical intimacy in a relationship with opposite sex.
So I am going to keep reading your journey on how you got to this place and I will deep travelling..happy life LIO. You deserve love and happiness!
