Thanks for the support, DejaVu6! I'm content with the fact that I did all I could to save my marriage in the short amount of time I had. The rejection is hard to take, but more than anything it's hard to make sense of it all. Obviously, I have regrets, but it's hard to accept that my W gave up a good guy, good father, strong provider, faithful husband. I do feel like she will regret her decision... that I am a man that only a fool would leave. I'm secure in the belief that the next woman will be astonished that somebody gave up on me.

I'm lucky that I'm able to live in my own skin, so to speak. It's tough, but I know I will pull through. Life is about living for me and the girls now.
