New day and I woke understanding it really is just me now. It was sobering but it was honest. NC and GAL. My new reality.

Wow. When I put on my wedding rings I realize I am wearing them for myself. It feels odd but it also makes me feel strong. I believe in the sacrament and the vows. I chose freely to marry my husband. If he chooses not to act married or sleep around or get a divorce then I still need to make my choices. I don't feel like a stander and maybe my feelings will change but for now I am married for better or worse.

This is not about him today. This is about me.
