but it is hard for me to believe that a person will leave a R to make another person happy.
Thanks for your response. I just want to clarify one thing and can only speak of my situation, I don't think my H left to make me happy. He left because HE was unhappy but was then surprised that I wasn't happy. He had felt so discounted by my actions that he thought I wouldn't care.
I guess I was lucky that he was a better DBer (no, he didn't read the book, he was just acting on instinct) than I was in the beginning. We had almost no contact other than "business" for the first 6 months. When we did interact, it was very much of the "friendly neighbor" type.
It seems you and I might both think what your W is saying is true to her now, in the moment or whenever she said those things. You call it spew and BS and I guess that's what throws me off.
Thanks for your insight because this always confuses me and I'm sure it will continue to in some way.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
