Unfortunately, I see a lot of stories like this on this site. LBS working very hard and dealing with extreme emotional abuse, only to be used and discarded. I see that in both our situations. I want to save my marriage, but I don't want to be treated like this any longer.
I am glad to see that you are at least moving forward to some sort of closure. I know it is not what you wanted, but at least there is an end. The abuse will stop.
