Briget--What wonderful news! If being independent is a 180 for you, it's good for a lot of reasons. First and foremost: you feel more in control of yourself and your circumstances. Second: you are giving yourself a big dose of self confidence and self esteem. Last but not least: your H won't be able to see you as weak and timid.
Briget, I know how hard this is for you--you have had to make a lot of changes over the past year. You have 5 kids to raise and nuture. You've had to go back to work. And you've managed to find time to placate the masses here.
NOBODY could ask more from you. Well, if they did, they would be unreasonable.
If you're the only person here who imagines revenge on someone, I'll eat my shorts. However, I sense that you know that it's a waste of energy.
So what can you do? Well, more feel good stuff. Things that make Briget feel whole and alive. Things that have nothing to do with other people. How about a game of pool? I bet you could kick my butt with a blindfold on.
You know that I'm totally cheering for what you said:
Quote: If he wants out he's got it. I'm going to save myself and lose him.and it is a fair trade.
You're incredibly intelligent too. Did I fail to mention that earlier? If so, let me remind you.
Take care, friend.

p.s. Pam, where the heck are you?
