My disclaimer

My DH is a great guy. Any of you biitches would be lucky to have him.

I don't love him like I should and I can't imagine looking across the room at the nursing home and seeing him there. I can't imagine waking up every morning between now and then and telling myself that I'm lucky, psyching myself up to make it though the day and suck it up as his wife.

This just confirms your generosity, wisdom, and stregnth of spirit. Hot damn, woman!

But the silver lining is that you realize that now, and not when you're in the nursing home.  I'm proud of you for not staying in the marriage just because he's a good guy, and for doing what's best for both of you, and your happiness.  A is very lucky to have you as his mother.

The number one concern I have in all of this is that you are happy. TRULY happy.

 

I believe he is a good guy. I trust your decisions, and am only focused on you getting the happpiness you deserve.

Your H has to be a great guy or you would have never married him.

You owe no explanation.  People grow together and people grow apart. It's not your fault you grew apart and your lives have to take a different direction now.

I commend you for recognizing it and not forcing yourself to be unhappy for the rest of your life.

I admire people who are wise enough to know that despite how great a person is, at the end of the day - they aren't really for them.

Far too many people just settle in. Years later they look back with great regret.

Mark Twain is rumored to have said that most people die at 27 but aren't buried until 72. I just don't want that for myself.

I commend you for knowing this.  It's not fair to stay with someone when you are truely not happy.

You owe no one an explanation.  You know in your heart what you need for yourself.  I hope you find happiness in which ever path you choose, Aggie.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Aggie.  But it sounds like you have all the right tools to go out and find that happiness on your own terms.  You're one strong lady.

Thinking of you, and big ((HUGS)).
