I'm doing my best to stay calm and not react to this but it is so hard to visualize the future without him. It's not that I can't live without him it's that I don't want to be without him.
Exactly how I feel NLT. We've been a team for too long for me to want to be part of a new team. If it does come to it though, I know I'll be fine on my own... and you will be too.
Is your financial future secure in either case?

What keeps going through my mind is that there were/are no major issues in our marriage.
I know, same here! Few to no complaints from W until her Mom passed. I even remember telling her several years back, that she never was a nag. (I'm sweet like that)
W even told me one time, "I know I've had a great life, and should just shut up and be happy, but I can't help feeling there must be something more."
Proof to me that MLC is REAL, and the marriage was never the problem.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
