The good thing is you can be aware of all your options, so you can make the best choice
And take as much time as you need-

For many of us here the choice was made for us by our spouses
There was no chance of reconciliation

But

most of us gave it a go
We put the time in..

We watched consciously
, we took care of ourselves, we were supportive to the MLCer

We sought therapy, read books, and learned all we could- we posted and read the other situations
we are not alone

We changed -became
better..
parents, friends, workers

maybe we went back to school, got promoted, or took up hobbies made new friends ,took up a spiritual practice or meditation..
anything is possible

many of us found better ways to live
we became happy again, despite the direction our spouses took-

Some do reconcile if its available
Im sure many here would reconcile if the option was there

Some form new relationships after time

The choice is yours and you will know when the time is right...
you will-

It is extremely sad to loose a spouse and brake apart a family
Somehow the kids adjust maybe for the better
