I would rather be who I am now with no H, over who I was 2 years ago, with H.
I feel exactly the same way. I have thanked my W for giving me this gift...the kick in the ass I needed to really dig deep and become who I wanted to be. I don't think many people take the time to really get it, so they aren't able to really become happy. They just drag their crap from relationship to relationship.
