Thank you 25. You had told me that story before, but I guess that I needed to hear it again.
Antonia, I read your new thread. Wow. That is what I have been struggling with as well. I'm not sure if it will ever be possible to completely drop the rope.
You know, my X has said things in the past like:
"People get divorced everyday and remain friends."
All I can say is that the majority of the people that DO remain friends is because they BOTH decided to get the divorce and BOTH decided that it would be best. Friends don't do the types of things the MLCer does. Like you said:

Lots of people break up and lots of marriages end, but not for THIS reason.
Anyways, I just wanted you to know that I struggle with dropping the rope as well and still struggle with the question: "Did this really happen?"
