With that said though she is still the same broken person. Now that I have had time and distance I can see clearly. She is all over the place emotionally, seemingly happy one moment and disturbed the next. I can really see her more objectively and can really see her lack of contentment....I think I just got used to it or became numb to it over the years but I see it very clearly now that I got some space.
I think what has made this easier for me as I now realize my W was a horrible spouse (heck maybe we both were). Most men probably would not have put up with it as long as I did.
It's kind of funny, isn't it, that with time and space, we start to see the flaws more clearly? I was not the perfect husband I thought I was, but I'm realizing she was a pretty terrible W. She's personable, and I like her, but unless there is some serious commitment on her part, I don't want to go back.
