Quote: LnL, I also agree that you shouldn't invite your H, especially because it seems as if you have made up your mind to move on without him.
It is very hard on the one hand, but also freeing on the other. I feel freed of the responsibilities - of carrying the weight of the marriage, for trying to figure him out, and all that - and now the responisibilities are all my own, for my own life (and that of D). I sure have some growing and growing up to do still, but it seems more doable and less stressful on the whole.
Letting go of that hope of reconciliation is hard, isn't it? I thought I had it beat, but I found out this weekend that I have a long way to go.
Good luck with the birthday plans!
Thanks, and thanks for your visit too!
