I probably have a deeper, more profound ability to love than at any other time in our marriage, or my life for that matter. I never understood why until recently...it benefits everybody, most specifically my children. It benefits me, because it forces me to love unselfishly...and loving her selfishly is partly what turned our marriage sour.
And if someday she returns to me with her whole heart, it will truly benefit her and us as well. If not, it will still bless me...and possibly some new lucky gal someday if my W quits for good and goes for the big D.
I think a truly mature woman sees that as real strength she can take to the bank, much more mature and substantial than all the poser stuff and game-playing.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. -- Inigo Montoya, 'The Princess Bride'
