That’s a tough question. If I’m being honest probably awhile. I was afraid of divorce for myself and the kids and my ex wasn’t a disrespectful WW. Though if I found out she was up to no good I would have been done.
Part of the reason I post is I’m an advocate that D is better the bs you put up with as a standing LBS. Not much worse than trying to save something by yourself.
I will tell you this that someday you won’t remember feeling like you down now. Some day you will feel peace.
I’m not sure though I will ever feel completely whole again knowing my intact family is gone forever.
Ok LH, I thought I was with you and feeling the wind in my sails that divorce is the only move for me, I'll file next week, and find a new great woman by next Christmas, etc. Then your last line threw me.
