Next month I am 21 years with my W. No M is perfect but people don't just stay together for over two decades, without some kind of bond. That bond still exists, but W has hidden it deep down. She may not feel it or even believe it is still there, but it is. Remember that.

This is just a phase and the only way out is by going through it. No shortcuts. No one knows how long this will take, but prepare yourself for it being llllooooooonnnnnnnnnggggggggg.

You need to really decide to fight, for it is a battle that will take all you have and then some more. We really are capable of digging deeper than we ever thought possible.

Many people are determined to fight for their M. That is half the battle,but how you fight is more important.This site is a great tool based on solid advice from a learned writer.

Best wishes.
