I do great when I'm home surrounded by my children. My work continues to suffer. I can buy groceries but get physically sick when I try to do anything else outside the house.
D is worse than death. At one time in history woman wore black and withdrew from the world for a period of one year to grieve. In some cases this was extended to two years.
I'm 8 months out and I feel like a failure because I express my grief here in unhealthy ways. I feel like a failure because I'm not GAL. I don't want a hobby and I don't want to spend time with other people. WAH is done with me and all the DB'ing in the world isn't going to change that.
Its unlikely he will come back but even then the most successful stories on here are ones who spent at least a year apart, the longer the better. The reason many LBSs don't take the WAS's back is a simple matter of them waiting too long. They had their chance and they blew it.
The OM I was talking to his wife left him for her affair partner. 16 months later she wanted to come back. He said no.
