Sorry Claire. Though we all come here with the intent of a fairy tale ending, if life was all fairy tales we wouldn't need a DB forum. I know there are some people that gave their M only a snowballs chance that recovered it, but i kind of believe that had as much to do with their partner as it did the sincerity of their DBing. The sad fact is that many people just don't have the strength to stick out a marriage no matter what you do. You got dealt the WAH card in life and it blows up many of your hopes and dreams, leaving you older and a bit shell shocked.

The good news is I know it will paid off. I can assure you there are many good men out there that would love the opportunity to be partnered with you. Just because you've been strong enough not to play the field and had too much respect for yourself not to rebound, that doesn't mean you won't have more love, appreciation, and support in your life than you've ever had in the past. The best part is you know what you want so you're more likely to get it, AND you've turned yourself into a prize which will attract the kinds of men that will appreciate who you are and reciprocate that type of character.

Of course it's scary because there are no guarantees in life. Any of us could turn into a cat lady or creepy old guy. But I am optimistic that a more meaningful M is in your future. I hope for your H's sake he wakes up in time to be that man. Stay strong and keep breathing.
