I was serious ... how can I continue to try to rebuild a relationship with someone who will throw 17 years away, along with my entire family and everything that I'm associated with for someone who he barely knows?
I can't continue to live with this man ... he's not at all the person I married, not the person I want to spend my life with.
On the other hand ... I'm not running to the divorce court tomorrow. I sincerely hope that he can "catch up" with me and at least begin to show that he can again be the sweet, kind, loving man that he really is at heart. It's in the "in between" ... between not running to divorce court tomorrow and moving on with my life in such a way that we end up so far apart that we can't get back together at all.
It was - and is - completely unacceptable. But, he might be able to work a miracle and make "amends." It would be a pretty major miracle at this point. I've heard absolutely nothing since he left for Florida ... he's even quit checking in with friends.
