Hi Susan,
So many times have I agonised over what I would do if I were still your age and knew what I know now 20 years on. I love my W dearly but I know for certain that I could have been so much happier if I had spent that time with someone more in tune with me (someone like you or honeypot for example). Once you have children, those of us with a loving nature (all of the people on this forum qualify) simply cannot bring themselves to abandon their families even when tempted by HD other men/women. I don't like to be a doom monger but based on your description of your LDH unless you get out, you are in for a lot of lonely sleepless nights. I feel that I have been successful recently but it is mostly due to the fact that I have been able to train myself to accept rejection rather than let it kill me.
