Those chemicals released in our brains during an infatuation are difficult, near impossible to pull away from… developed to ensure survival of the species. I’d say they did/do their job! But as you are well aware, these chemicals have nothing to do with “True Love”. True love is what you have showed your wife. Unfortunately, she has rejected it.

Cali, you are a model DB’er and have done what I believe we all should do to save our marriages… everything, plus then some. I know you have not made your decision lightly. Now that you have, don’t waver for a moment. Continue to move forward with resolve and don’t look back.

I know things can get nasty in a D, but I trust you will stick to the high road and always be able to hold your head high. I am wishing you and your family all the best during this difficult time.

M: A really long time.
Crisis: 5 years.
She's still worth it.

Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. -Viktor Frankl
