It sounds like you handled it really well, 3. I don't blame you for not sharing the details. I don't think I will do that, either. In fact, I am torn about whether to even say it was H's decision. I do like how you said that you are just trying to focus on yourself and your kids. It's the truth, and it's what's important. I am betting that most people who ask questions are really just curious more than they actually care. One of the people who is coming over on Sunday for the Super Bowl is a super nosy/gossipy/drama seeking Mom from my kids' school. I know as soon as I tell her, everyone will know. So I want to make sure I carefully craft my answer.

About understanding your H . . . the difference, as you pointed out, is that you recognize that you are not entitled to live such a life.
