Great take home message Py. One especially us LBS's need to remember over and over. I had a friend from high school reach out yesterday when he heard the news of my separation and even after explaining my considerable role in it and taking responsibility for that he reminded me that my W had a lot of options are her disposal and walking out was only one of them.
He told me a number of times - remember this isn't all about you. Don't beat yourself up, you might have made mistakes but your heart is a good and marriage is harder work than anyone realizes (he's with with his W for 20 years now).
I appreciate you writing all of that out.
