GG - I think all your emotions are valid. In a relationship we experience so much and over the length of a marriage....In the aftermath of all this MLC it is easy to lose sight of the scope of those emotions. I guess we get bogged down in analysis and history.
I think you can love and not be in love. I think when you give yourself to feel all of it then that is a huge step toward forgiveness and acceptance. There are people who D or R and just never get all the way to that place. The place where the whole enchilada of life is just unconditionally accepted. The good, the bad and it is only then that we can truly forgive.
I hope to get there someday. I think you are closer than you realize. You just are a bit scared of the whole enchilada. It is scary but go for it GG. Be your awesome self and go for it!
