MrsNop.: I want to thank you for sharing, gently, with me your thoughts about my sitch. You're right...I probably don't fully understand all that my W went through, and is going through, to move here. I hear all the good things that happen to her each day, and think, "oh, she's making the transition so easily, just as I expected she would." What's missing is the status she used to hold, the friends and acquaintances she had, the familiarity and love for the old house and city she lived in, and, probably, the distance from my ex, and to some extent, from my kids. She is, at heart, a person who loves solitude. I need to be more open to the difficulties she has faced, and stop minimizing them.
Thanks for your post, and others, for helping me understand that.
