Oh, yes, CC. I bet a lot of us could say we were pretty judgmental of others before we experienced this ourselves. I know I was.

It is a totally different view from this side of things.

I understand the need to "fix," as well. It's so hard to stand back and just let our spouses fall. But, it is the only way we can come out of this healthy.

I love what sayit said above...."You can't fix him and you didn't break him."

On the "how long do you wait?" question....I have no reply. uRworthy has some good posts on that.

I, too, haven't been single in forever, even before I was married to H....so yes, I think we do have to take some time to find ourselves again.

Find out who you are...and what you want out of life. It sounds so cliché...but it is so true. I'm struggling with those tough questions right now.

Best of luck....
