Sandi, if you get a chance to read this, I finally went back and read your early posts in your sitch. I must say, reading about the turmoil you went through and your guilt and sorrow really was an eye-opener for me. It made me think of what a tough time my W must be going through. It really is like walking through a fog, isn't it? I'm glad I'm getting so good at detaching, but it certainly helps me be more sympathetic to what she has been feeling. I don't know if it's an MLC or an OM, and I'm not concerning myself with that anymore, but it's painfully obvious that my W is feeling about me much the same way that you were feeling about your H when you were going through your WAW period. It's really quite instructive for an LBH to read. My W really has felt disgusted with my efforts to rescue our M and has seen the emotional turmoil I was going through as weak and unattractive. I was pushing her right out the door. It might be a bit late to come to be coming to that realization, but at least I know I can go out with my head up and chest out and I can continue with my efforts to improve myself secure in the knowledge that I'm doing the right thing: both for myself and to have any microscopic hope of reviving my M. So, thanks.
