Pretty sure my line in the sand is PA or doing these things in the presence of my kids. I don't think I could recover from PA.
You don't know what you are capable of, I have been amazed at what I am capable of that I had no clue I could do until this journey. Don't sell yourself short.
Lose the pre-conceived ideas about M, R, manliness, life itself. Beginner's mind, find it, start from scratch.
And as one on the other side of my W's PA...you can get past it. You can allow trust again. If you choose to.
All yours, the choice, the power. While knowing you may get hurt. Life is full of risk. No risk, no reward.
And with W, my experience was that the EA part is more worrisome/hurtful than the PA. She didn't mourn, go through withdrawal from PA OM. EA is where she pains, where she hangs onto. Women tend, generally, to value the emotional part of a R more highly. Think about it.
Maybe re-think that notion of yours, that you can't recover.
