...even so I still hung on being the best husband I could. I worked on meeting all of her needs that she could describe, but no matter, she is divorcing me anyway...
Fun Dad; Have you read No More Mr. Nice Guy? After rereading MWD's SSM book I would recommend that one. Also if you are grieving the loss of your marriage, there are usually 5 steps to working through grief. You sound like you have worked through denial and bargaining and maybe even anger. But depression or sadness is a big step toward acceptance. GAL really helps you deal with depression and sadness which are normal parts of the grief process.
Good luck to you.
>43 years of marriage--My wife and I are now closer than we have been in decades. I believe that my SSM is over.
