Cali - so sorry to hear about the loss of your faithful friend. Dog's occupy such a special place in our heart and their loss is real but so was your time together. My sympathies -
Also just wanted to let you know that what you've accomplished along this journey has really resonated with me. I admire your commitment to all the people you love and your willingness to share how you've taken this time to really reflect and own your life. This is poignant stuff and in today's world people seem to accept MLC or fractured families as normal.
Anyway you've really bared your soul at times. As a woman over the last year or two I have found myself wanting to drift into that scary camp of "man blaming" - It was tempting and so not the issue. Thank you for honoring us with your posts and reminding me that a spouse in crisis is not defined by gender and there are guys out there who value their vows for all the right reasons. You and Irish and a few others have bolstered my optimism and been insightful and kind. Thanks for sharing.
