TH,
Thanks for all your encouragement on my thread.
You know I can empathize with your pain. I am moving on, moving forward, even as I stay committed. This is not easy.

I have a good and wise friend. She always reminds me, “If you weren’t in pain, I would worry about you.” Another friend tells me, “Be patient and give yourself time to feel the pain.”

Those of us here are a self-selecting group. We choose to be here because we still care for and love our spouses. I hope you can continue to find compassion and kindness in your dealings with your spouse. Rooting for you, TH.
