Tori, as much as I can't wait to get my hands on a specially signed copy of your book, (and I do mean specially ) if our sitch is resolved before that happens I promise I'll be ok with waiting!
FC, everything in your post could have been written by me... well, except for the "she may have loved me for 2-3 years" thingy. At bomb drop my wife told me she knew on our honeymoon night(!) that she wasn't "In Love" with me. At least you got 2-3 years... work with it buddy!

Everything is pretty steady over here, no one's going anywhere, no big changes, although I did have a tough couple of days a week ago, Thurs-Fri.
W has been working late to meet upcoming deadlines, and also going out straight after work with co-workers, GF, or my Lil sis more often than usual.
Then, Thursday night I discovered a couple of potentially disturbing things, that allowed my mind to worry about the worst. I came close to canceling my Saturday plans with buddy just so I could stay home and figure out how to fix everything!
Thankfully I didn't, and we had a good time at Veggie group pot luck/beach volleyball. I also did a bike ride on the lake front path and seen a lot of cool things. Best of all, when I got home 8 hours later, W and sitch were still there after all, exactly where I left 'em. Despite my fears, nothing had changed.
Lesson learned: DON'T FRET YOUR SITCH! It never helps. Instead, continue to live and enjoy your life. (which is what I've been doing) -----------------
W's company of over 25 years will be "restructuring" in the next few weeks. Some employees will have to re-apply for their jobs. Some will lose them. The old W used to agonize greatly over stuff like this. The new W seems to be at peace with it all. From what she tells me, she actually sounds to be a source of calmness and strength among the others in her department.
This is nice to hear, especially since it wasn't too long ago that W told me she felt like her work was "The only thing that I got".
Rock On, y'all!
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
