Of late, it has struck me just how public my M has become. Everybody has an opinion. I live in a small community. People seem unsure how to respond to the A. People are wondering why we have not yet D. I doubt anyone would understand DB. Many have told me they are "following my lead": while we are still a family, they are careful to alienate my W, even though they are disgusted by what she continues to do. Still others are probably questioning my self respect: why would I remain M to someone who is obviously and shamelessly unfaithful?
OMs W is probably feeling the same thing right now. I thought they already D, but I was mistaken.
