Oceangrl: Update on MR and LRT sitch

[Joe2017]

It seems like, for whatever reason, counseling is not working. There are disconnects. Are you telling your counselor and H that what he wants to do for you isn't what you want or need? If you are, he's not listening.

In my sitch, I could never get over the fact that I had been cheated on. It takes a while to heal from that... and TBH, I am 99% over it now, and I don't think I could ever fully trust my ex again. I think can be friends, but she'd never have my heart or trust again.

And this won't be your last Christmas as a family if you split. You still have your family, no matter what. It's just going to be different. Nothing ever stays the same. Things will change, and you will adapt.

It's hard to think there will be good to come from all of this, but there will be eventually.

My WW left me on Thanksgiving and forced me out of the MH right after Christmas. I never thought I'd recover, but I did. It was hard, but I enjoy my life more now. It takes a while and a lot of counseling, because it's hard. But you'll make it.
