Of course I think of her she IS my W and has been a part of my life for 13 years, I’m being honest can you all say the same..?


Mark, oh Mark,

I feel for you, I really do. No 2x4s from me, because I think we could all take swings at you, and you are still going to keep pursuing your W.

I think YOU are the one who's not being honest, with yourself, and you spend a ton of energy trying to convince us that you are.

You think of her as your W, and on paper, she still is. But I can promise you, SHE DOES NOT THINK OF YOU AS HER HUSBAND.

Until you face that hard truth, I'm afraid you will never detach, drop the rope, move out of your stuck place, or free yourself from the chains of a marriage that no longer exists.

I'm so sorry. I hope you find some peace in all this, at some point.
