I suspect this is no big realization for most of you, but today I realized that this is just the end of the opening act. W just now can admit that she wants out after a whole year. I figure now she has to explore what that might involve which could easily take another year or longer. It's a marathon not a sprint. . .
Lex23, wow, that's a big development. How are you holding up? How are you taking care of yourself? Do you have the support you need? Are you going to tell the kids?
This has been so long coming that I found acceptance pretty quickly. She took herself away from me bit by bit over the whole year. By the time that she actually put it into words I had already come to grips with it and it wasn't even a surprise.
