AS, good correction. This is my time to reclaim who I am and the man I want to be going forward.

I appreciate the encouragement. I have noticed over the past few months that the small close circle that I have shared some of details of my sitch with have quickly offered suggestions to give up on my MR due to W’s behavior. Honestly, while I know they just want to make me feel better, it doesn’t align with my ultimate goal of R. These POVs are probably not much different than the influences W was following when deciding to BD, IHS, and now physically S. Definitely the biased shoulders. My W has made comments that several have told her to walk away as well although she has zero interest in R right now.

I find that reassurance from members here as well as my inner circle are extremely helpful in giving me strength and supporting my belief to continue standing.
