You are right RockJC, I know they (WAS) must not have a fulfilling life. But for most of them (WAS) they do walk away with very few if little consequences. Things they simply don't worry about until it bites them. It does seem that the LBS has to make up all the hardship that has been left to them. My example, has my W, walking away from me without paying for the mortgages or any bills for the last 13 months. She still has the family support, the lack of worrying (mindreading) about the marriage, and if anything, enjoying the new relationship. In my heart, I will do everything possible for my marriage and even then some. I will do the right thing (following DB principles) as much as I can and continue with my values in life. I don't want to ride the same wave, because I believe in my marriage values. I believe in working at my marriage. I believe my W is in a fog, that one day may lift. If it does, I still want to be the person she met and liked over 25 years ago.
