GH--haven't read your thread in a long time....first off, I am SO happy for you and your W in saving your M. You are definately on your way. She is a lucky and wonderful woman to have such a strong and dedicated H at her side, as you are to have her. She may have strayed, but she never fully walked.

Your essay was a wonderful inspiration. It's definately something I needed to hear now...I think in MLC land we see the "walking away" point come at a time people's sitches when staying is outweighed by the sacrafice of sanity and self in the process. BUT, you make an excellent point about forgiveness....and remembering that there was a seed in us, the LBS that was part of the whole thing.

I am struggling with that now, as things get crazier and crazier, and it was calming for me to read your beautiful words.

Honestly, I feel so lucky to have met, through you and these BB and in real life, many wonderful, amazing men. It's what keeps the door from shutting.
