in the overall situation, the M is over. Life as it was is over, and a new life lies ahead. There are +ves and I need to NOT focus on the -ves. That doesn't detract from the -ves and mean they aren't so bad, it isn't just the way I am looking at them. There is no +ve way of stripping cum stained sheets off your mariatal bed without being insanely chirpy (Oh at least W is having a good time).
So yes, I am being -ve. The only way I can deal with it more productively is too pull back and focus on what I have, and maybe even what I have gained. Minimising the -ves hasn't worked, hating my W has been even less effective. I lost my W a longtime ago. Apart from losing my M the annoying **** now is not coming from my W, and is not really even being directed AT me. So I am trying to ignore it. I could be even more -ve and say that there is nothing I want to learn from it. It is not humility that can be learned, or any other +ve attrbute, it is "how to be a door mat".
The only +ve attribute may be patience.
