Zues, I have just tried your approach. thank you for helping me to see what he was feeling. I kind of understood he was humiliated, but not in that way. I had been approaching it as the one that was greatly wronged.
I think I need to write this and read this every day for now..." Eliminate the expectations of being understood". I keep trying to be and it is and has never worked.
I don't want to be divorced in 6 months either. And he keeps saying how much he tried and I don't see it. I say it was his choice to leave and he keeps saying it was not. This I truly do not get. So it is scary but very helpful to me how much you do grasp our situation.
Thank you.
