The possibility of ever reconciling feels so far away when we are living as distant roommates. I was reading about couples who D and remarry, and it seems like such a small percentage overall, statistically. But then I also thought: What percentage of people who D are dbing? I think that makes a difference, at least in growth for the LBS. What percentage of divorces involve MLC? !

Cardinal, I’ve been feeling the exact same way for the last couple of days as I interview L etc...it just hits me sometimes and seems so unreal and R seems like an impossibility because of the roommate status too. I think for me what hurts the most is trying so hard to detach when he’s right there and I just want to have a reasonable conversation with him (orANY conversation for that matter) knowing that I can’t. I feel like you are correct when you brought up how many people who D are dbing....cause I’ve given this some thought too and believe that most people either wouldn’t take the time to figure out what was really going on and or have the patience and guidance that we are getting from eachother on this site.
