Now that so much is coming to light I'm wondering how I accepted so much as normal.
This is a question for all of us. We explore our failings in the M for good reasons -- to understand how we got here and to avoid ever coming back. But we should remember that the departure of the WAS is also due to a different "pain threshold" in the couple. I see some people around here who seem to have had it worst than their WAS, yet stayed in the M. We should no idealize our spouses and assume that we were systematically the worst party in the couple just because they decided to leave.
