It sounds like she is hurting a lot.

Sounds like you're still able to keep strong, FY. Idk how you do it! But I admire your fortitude!


Thanks for the kind words of acknowledgment RH, it really does help. Sometimes I don't know how I do it either. I've felt an ultimatum coming on for quite a while now. My goal now is to hold out until our anniversary at the end of June, to see how that goes.

I sense that while she’s in pain, she knows she has a good thing with me. Why else would she still be here? I seriously believe bomb dropping her with my reality will wake her up to see what she would be losing, now that I’ve done enough time to really prove myself. Then again, maybe she just needs to see this through, you know, without me there at all. So sad after all these years, but it is what it is.
