There is an indignity in the way a long and for the most part, happy marriage is wiped away. What kind of dumba*s throwaway society have we become that people do not question what i going on here?
Sure no-one is saying that marriages should be preserved at all costs, but equally marriage has a value, and a long marriage represents so much for the couple, their family and friends.
I am so sorry. Please allow yourself time and space to grieve, What you have lost is real, as much as if your spouse had died. And in some ways they have. But those not going through this do not see it.
My children feel the person they knew and loved so dearly no longer exists. It is so sad, and so little understood, outside of these forums.
