The fact that you are willing to walk away shows strength in yourself and what you deserve.

Marriage is hard. People can be confusing. Nothing is black and white in my mind.

Wishing you the best of luck.


jac, that's been my biggest learning..... Nothing is black and white. So true. I used to see everything so clear cut. I used to advocate for even such an approach in our Justice system. If you commit X then Y is the punishment. I now know that the world is so clear-cut. It's easy to say that if she does this again then I'm walking. In reality there are different things to take into account. If she would have said this time, like she did last time, "I don't want to be married anymore" then I would have said "start packing".

I think she say that difference in me this time, I really do, and her approach this time was much much different.
