Clarity, I have read your situation from when you were in a very different place; I found your perspective so wise and inspiring. I identified with your home/family situation and attitude towards life and your perspective on relationships and your H.
Can I ask you, all this time later, was it worth it?
I don’t believe that any of us regret the self-development and growth that happens as a result of BD. But I read so few stories where the final outcome of a R is better than it was before. Does personal growth and development require holding onto hope for a reconciled MR? Or does holding onto hope slow our process down?
I’d love to hear your existential thoughts from all the different sides you have experienced and lived.
