Hey TF,

I’ve been following along but I didn’t really have much to add until I thought about you and your sitch.

Seems like the Ws who file fast are the ones who change their minds fast. That makes me hopeful for you.

I also find a strange kind of hope in the fact that your W, wayward as she may be, had the integrity to file and leave before starting physical A. That, to me, suggests that she still has some respect for you and the M. Not enough to stop the train, but enough that when the train runs out of coal she will still consider you a member of the same species. Contrast that to some of us here whose Ws led double lives for months or years. I mean, that’s the kind of betrayal that represents hostility and disrespect of the worst kind.

So, for whatever that’s worth to you, from an outsider’s perspective it shows me that your W isn’t as crazy as you might feel she is. Just scared, hurt, trying to do the right thing in a situation that is wrong no matter how you cut it.

Stay strong. Keep the faith.
