I recently watched a TED talk that was recommended by Painter by Dan Gilbert on the surprising science of happiness.

Painter, do you think WAS will be less happy because they made the choice to leave And will always have doubt versus the LBS who will create synthetic happiness based on what they are left with?

I kind of find that in my responses... If my husband leaves, I will move forward if he stays I will work on marriage. Its funny, I get that instinctually which is why I find limbo so uncomfortable. LBS does have to deal with the rejection though but perhaps that is easier then being the final decision maker.

Truth be said, i secretly want husband to be miserable and regretful one day for making this decision. I guess it's due to my pride and feeling of rejection.

Rouky, I feel like your post is very insightful and reminded me that I already hit rock bottom regarding marriage and husband. There really is nothing left to fear except perhaps the legal process.
