good morning everyone. thank all of you, for taking the time to respond. I really want to believe that there are better days ahead. I will put all of your ideas into action. never in my wildest imagination would I have ever though that, one, this was real, two, it would land on us, and how much I would be affected by it. you are right I am very addicted to my wife. we met when we were 15. we have been side by side since 1987. we are best friends, did everything together. now, to be alone, and when I do see her, its all negative vile spew. it seems for me, like I am sure all of you feel, it is a two-fold issue. one the love of my life has went off the rails and has no idea, and I cant do anything to help her. two, I lost the love of my life, and my best friend, and right now, there is nothing I can do about it.
