I really, really don't get why your W is doing this to herself, to her kids and even to her marriage.
I get when people feel miserable and look for something else outside the marriage, or just leave because it is unbearable. But leave a situation that may seen bad and get into one that is much worse is a no brainer for me.
I guess that's why I am the LBS, because I always believed in marriage and during my R I though "It will get better tomorrow".
Oh well, I guess it is her loss. Struggling throw this all, not having her kids and stuck in some delusional life she created for herself.
I am very happy that your kids are moving along. It is sure nothing easy to deal with all their pain, and even if they don't talk about, they have it deep inside their heart. But fortunately they have your support and love and can make up for some of the losses.
Now about you my friend, I am very happy you are not feeling down or struggling as much as a few months ago. Time is an amazing weapon and even with scars we feel better after some time goes by.
Happy you have a date. It is really nice you will have some time for yourself and who knows, maybe this is lady is a nice girl and came in the right moment. If not, then it is also good to find out what you do not want, or what is too little or too much.
Slow but steady, and RD will find happiness again and be loved by someone that won't give up so ease.
Please, let us know how that goes in details. I am very curious to know about it.
