Trust me, resentment is an issue with this. I still struggle with it at times. I think that the bottom line for me when this happens is that I have to remember that it isn't all about me. It never has been. My W is living HER life and seeking her own happiness. She is growing and changing all of the time. Just like all of us. The period of time that she took away from me was for her. So that she could seek the life path that was best for her. So she could find what would make her happy in her life.

For me, it turned out to be a blessing as well. I learned so much about myself, about life, about how to be a husband...

I try to look at it in a non-selfish way, and try to look at the good that has come of it.

It doesn't mean that I don't struggle at times though. I do.

I do think though that those feelings will go away over time. A few months, a year... just a blip in a lifetime.
