Thank you PigPen, your support means a lot to me. In this situation one can feel so very alone and isolated. It's great to have the support of someone like you.
I will work on new goals this evening and post them.
Pp, you summed it up, and did an awesome job of it. That post is golden. Mutatio, you sound like an awesome guy to start with. You may have work to do, but you seem to have an awesome foundation to build on. Remember, no house can stand on a weak foundation, so it is very important. Keep it up, you will be an even greater mutatio!

Thank you dday for your kindness. I am evolving and am a much better person then I was in earlier versions of myself. I look back and am disappointed in my choices. I am not paralyzed by those choices, just disappointed. My barometer going forward is simple, when I look back at this moment in the future, how will I feel by the choice I am making. I use my scale of measurement, no one else's.
I'm enjoying introspection and evolution, after all life is change.
Good morning, Mutatio, I am so proud of you and the way you are handling your self in this heartbreaking situation. You have been so kind to me and supportive, and I can see that you are handling yourself with dignity and dealing with your wife with love and compassion, while still finding the time and strength to reach out to others and make a difference with your words. You are making good choices that you will look back on with no regret.
Thank you pho, that means a lot to me. Fate has put us in similar situations simultaneously. I feel a special kinship to you because of these similarities. We are on this path for better or worse. In the end we will have a good meaningful life's. I am thankful for your support.
Hello, My friend! You've inspired me to look into codependency. As the child of an alcoholic married to an alcoholic, I strongly suspect it is an issue. I'm going to learn all I can in order to continue my personal growth. Thank you.
I continue to be amazed by the patience and love you show your wife. You are a man who clearly understands commitment to a vow. Your wife is so very blessed. I hope she begins to realize that one day soon.
Thanks mah (Mona Ancaire Huddy). Your kind words fill me with pride and joy. I have come to believe that the world is what we make of it. I will continue to support my wife with the kindness and compassion she deserves. If she chooses a life without me at least I'll have my dignity.
