I appreciate your feedback. You seem like you've really gone through the full cycle with this stuff and have handled it with unusual stability and insight.
I wish I could envy the freedom I am heading towards, but you know, I really did like being married. I think this was part of our problem, she always felt like we weren't connecting enough or having enough fun and I was always happy just to have a caring wife and stable family life.
I'm trying to get excited about getting back into old hobbies, but right now I think I am still wishing I could just wake up from this bad dream. I've just been so focused on fixing this for so long, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around giving up.
