Maybe is the LBS that's in the 'fog' for looking at the marriage through rose tinted spectacles.
This is what I think that has happened for me for the last 15 months. I was holding on, just knowing that this is all repairable. This is just fog. Now, when the fog lifts for me, I look back and realize I could have or even should have ended it immediately and been on with my new life. (though I have learned a lot about myself and people by enduring this pain).
My W, over and over, told me that I should move on, that I will not get over this. I think I know what she meant now - she will not end it and I might as well move on. My fog would not let me see this before.
