It’s hard for me to respond because I never think of you as the “o.w.” although you have revealed that in your posts. Then I think how you must feel when I post things about my H. and o.w. not working out in the end, because of how their R. began, etc. I hope I don’t upset or offend you. It’s good to get angry; I have had my rants, too. It isn’t fair that the WAS leaves without even trying to make the R. work. I feel that once they take the vows with you, they are owning up to half of the responsibility to keep the marriage healthy and growing. Walking away from it is not in keeping with that responsibility. I wish I knew what to say to make you feel better. What about breakfast on Sunday; can you make it?
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
