I think most MLCers have moments of clarity they miss the house, their stuff, the TV, the family
Maybe it briefly passes thru their thoughts that they are giving up a lot of stuff they will newer admit it
and in the end many of them do opt to leave a ll the stuff they worked for- for a fantasy life that will never be created
some start to realize it later after their dream life turns to dust
one of my best friends who also went thru this is now best friends with her XH He is actively pursuing her for the last 6 months she doesn't want him back he like so many others mlcers he had so much lost it-and has nothing at this point and is working temp jobs
You on the other hand sound like as you move forward your fantasy life will be created from hard work and perseverance
