//How do you cope// - Very poorly. Ultimately, I am coping with a D. Now my W still claims that the relationship is not romantic and that there is no sex. Do I believe her? No. It is awful and I think the term "emotional abuse" is accurate.
//W doesn’t believe she is doing anything wrong// Neither does mine. I find this incredible. I think of the story in Judges. If you haven't read it, it is an amazing story. It ends with the statement "25 In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit." Judges 21:25. Man has an incredible ability to justify the morality of any action that they want to take. If "I deserve to be happy" is your mantra, then almost any behavior is moral.
