Sometimes I feel reading here is good for me to see what did go wrong in my marriage and what I would never want to repeat in any sort of relationship I might be in someday.

Other times I read and think why couldn't D and I have made those changes and saved our marriage. Then I have to remind myself that he probably had the ideal of J in his mind all along and that was what he truly wanted even though he probably didn't realize it when he asked me to marry him.

Heard a song this morning on the drive to work titled i think, "she's gona make it and he never will", not that D will have any trouble making it but is he living HIS life or just taging along living his life through someone else living their life?

I know I NEED to drop this rope. It seems I do then come up against people talking about he and J or try to plan to attend something and don't want to go because it is something they may be attending. Then I start all over with why couldn't we. I wish I would hurry up and process.

I also think really I am right where I need to be. In my case I need to see that I can make it on my own and that I don't NEED another person in my life. It is a slow yucky process, I guess it is finishing up growing up. Wish I had done it a long time ago and weren't having to do it now!
