I'm sorry to hear how things turned out. Be warned people will come swinging that you didn't try long enough. Not me! I get it.
I'm sorry to hear how things turned out. I do understand what you are saying about the sex thing. I was never able to so much as hug my H... probably should have been my tip off there. Everyone can blame the final meltdown on me. I'm fine with it. But he laid down with another woman and I couldn't get myself past it.
Never heard of over-functioning but I'm definitely going to read up on that.
Yep, you set people off and it's not too difficult to see why. You are a very confident person. Some people read that as "cocky" rather than confident and in control of the situation. You could try again with your H for another 10 years, come back here with the same confidence you have shown regarding his issues, and someone will come along and swing a bat that you aren't paying attention to your own issues, you didn't try hard enough and you need to be more understanding of his needs. It's the packaging that seems to turn some off for whatever reason. And honestly? I wouldn't worry about it too much. Because I believe the only solution is to either not be so confident or pretend to not be so confident. You willing to do either of those things? And to what end?
Lots and lots and lots of drama in my situation which has resulted in nothing changing much other than my location. Went back to TN when a facebook pic of OW at my house showed up on my computer. I handled it well, though. I came back and told my H "I will burn this house down before OW sets one foot in this house again." LOL! Yep, COMPLETELY in control. Hahahaha
Miss you tons! But totally respect your need for a break. I took one for over a year!
