Muddle, You seem to have your head on straight. I really like what you said here:
Quote: I realized last night that I love my W enough to stand by her while she goes through this really difficult time in her life, regardless of where we are headed as a couple. I know she's looking for a lot of answers that only she can find for herself. The only reason I would pull myself out of this relationship is because I want something different for myself. At this point, I think it's far more important to invest myself in loving my W in this deep way, regardless whether she returns it, than to run out and try and make a new life for myself. I know I'll be a better person for it, and hopefully, so will she.
I agree with you completely as this too is where I am at. Although there are times when I am angry that I want to give up, I know I am only reacting to my anger. Deep down I do NOT want to give up, I do NOT want to start over with a new life. I have faith that my M will turn around and work out and that I will have been the glue that kept my family together.
