Between dating and marriage my ex and I had 25 years together.
25 years for me too.

Benito clung desperately to his W like so many of us did. It wasn't until he well and truly accepted she was gone and got about the business of working on himself that she did a 180. The way DB'ing works is you focus on yourself and your kids and be the best man and best father possible without concerning yourself with whether it will bring your W back or not. As long as you hold that rope she will run and run and run. Drop the rope and she'll stop and look back and maybe even reverse course. The irony is you've got to get to the point where you no longer care if she comes back before she might.
I am starting to get towards that point because she lies so much and is so devious. I'm disappointed in her. That isn't the soul-mate that I loved for most of my life. I'm getting tired of it.
