Hey Little, I am interested to see your pros and cons list.
I understand what you mean about people telling you what to do and what to think and what to feel. I don't talk about the situation with my H to people any more. Everyone just says get over it. And if I tell them some new detail they roll their eyes and say he is an ass. But that doesn't really help me. So I tend not to say much about it ever, and if people ask I just give them a brief summary or say nothing is new and change the subject.
I do wish I had someone to talk to who understood and was helpful in the way I would like, but at least I do have lovely supportive people in my life who are looking out for me the best way they know.
