Thank you for your feedback and support, Georgia Bulldogs.
Since Thursday night, I felt my mind has jumped another level -- another step towards detachment. I actually looked forward to being loved again, and even if it's not my W, that's OK.
And another thing -- I don't need my W to see me as the #1 man in her life. I have two people in my life who already think that -- my kids.
I've come to realize that it's not the loss of my W that pains me -- it's the loss of my family entity. This very entity is something that my W either refuses to see, or does not hold in high regard, because that entity includes me, the H who has hurt her in many ways over the years.
