I know that there are no answers to these questions, but I need to start thinking about whether I want my H and not just whether my H wants me. The one thing that I do know, is that I feel better about myself. There was nothing wrong with me. I was just trying to cope with a problem that was out of my control.


I am actually going through the same mental process. W was often belittling to me in public and has been embarrassing on several occasions. I still am processing everything. We didn't have drugs, or drinking or cheating as problems, but indifference and respect were real issues. I don't want to do that again and I am not sure how much things can actually change.
