Quote: How can I have any respect for a man that does this to his family?
I have NO IDEA.. How you continue to put up with it is beyond me.. There are some Ms that just cannot be rectified, no matter what you do. Follow your gut feel Nik, don't be afraid to end it out of some "obligation" that exists in your heart but no longer in his. Life indeed is TOO SHORT to settle...
Quote: I know I have alot of great qualities but it is definitely a blow to my self esteem.
Oh, I know how you feel, its a blow to ALL our self esteems when we more or less get 'dumped' by our S.. But as you say, you have a lot of great qualities, so if i were you, I'd ACT like there is a new Sherrif in town and start quietly DOING THE DUMPING..stop WANTING..START GETTING OUT THERE and then see whose self esteem suffers a blow when LOYAL 'OL NIK, is moving on, preferably to someone NEW that APPRECIATES HER...
