shocked, believe me you are not alone. there was another thread which i wrote, how can you live your life with someone, and after a twilight zone short period of time, you are civil and only talk about kids????????????? crazy. i understand what you are going through. my advice, is just be prepared for the rollercoaster, i have bad days and some good days, even though i really try to psych myself up. also, i am 4 months separated and she seems to be perfect and ok with her new life. words like it hurts me, but oh well, one has to live the present with God and what he decides.......... (WTF???????) God married us, that is what he intended. oh well, also patience. i honestly dont see how one can be so patient,to recover what you once had in a different way of course, but this really teaches you to be a master of the art of patience. take care.
