Claire, if you're out there... What changed for you? How did you back away from done?

I'm having a hard time seeing how I'd be better off with my H than without him. The things I miss about him are fun qualities but not necessarily life partner qualities. I used to say that he had a better opinion of me than anyone in the world (and I returned the sentiment) but that's not true anymore. I have a hard time remembering anything great about him at all. All I see at the moment is disengagement, selfishness, and lack of support.

When you were ready to quit did you see anything good about your H? What made you pick up the flag and soldier on again?
