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.

If you’re willing, of course.
