Tim: It will implode. Or it won't. The happiest couple I know of have been married for 20 years and started out as an affair that started 2 months after W's wedding to her XH. That doesn't really change the fact that he chose her. He chose that over me.
I don't know what it is. I'm sure i'll feel differently later but right now, I'm just done. I want someone who is going to fight for me. Who recognizes everything that I am and is loyal to me the same way I am to them. I made this mental deadline that if he didn't say anything to me about match day (ask me where I was, wish me luck, etc), then I would walk away. I want someone to share those moments with and if he does come back, that'll be a moment he'll never be able to get back. Same with my graduation. That's the culmination in everything I've worked so hard for for basically my entire life. Never getting less than a B. Never giving up. And he was there for almost all of it. And now he's chosen her over all of this.
Thornton: I'm thankful for my dad and how much he's stepped up. I'm thankful that when my world fell apart, I had a great group of friends who acted as my safety net. I'm thankful I'm young, relatively healthy and looking at a solid future with financial security. I'm thankful my mom isn't here to see this. And I'm thankful for moments like this when what I'm not getting from H is just as important as the future I'm losing. And right now, I'm thankful for a very hot shower that soothed my feet and puppies who will always love me unconditionally.
