Ahoy, just checking in with the ladies tonight. Better than self-pity (too much of that, and anger, lately).
We will probably never know all of what's going on. Everyone has secrets. I look at it this way. Reconciliation is a two-person exercise. So was marriage. But time the S spends actively dismantling the marriage becomes blacked out, like a classified document in a spy movie. I may never know, I don't want to know, and I certainly will never believe my W about what was going on during those times. Even if we make it back to marriage.
So, transparency can only be requested (or demanded, depending on the sitch), when both parties are willing to work at the R. Anything that happens during the alien possession (thanks, bdub) will be lost in the mists of time.
Don't know if that helps. Just some thoughts.
