The "secret" is to become the best person you can become, which means you will be happier in the long run, no matter what your w does. Truly believing that you are going to be fine, regardless, gives a confidence that many find attractive.
It's a paradox in a way.

I just think you must KNOW that you will be alright, regardless of your wife's choices.
When I truly believed that, when i KNEW i was going to be happy again, regardless, and began making plans for my new life, an inner peace came to me.
I began looking forward to my new life (& freedom), and then....somehow it radiated from within. I mean it began to show on the outside..
Believe YOU are going to be OK. I hold on to these few words dearly. It helped me to drop my guilt over my actions or inaction over the course of my M. I felt happier now compared to the first 4 months.
You are not alone. I have trouble sleeping too. I get up around 4am-5am each day regardless of the time i go to bed. I'm working on this. I hope you do too.
