Re: For Those of You Who Left sosad05: I think I discussed my situation one time with you in depth. So, for my situation, yes, its greatly improved. I am able to live my morals again. I'm not doing things against what I believe FOR him. However, I feel regret in that why couldnt it work. He promised in front of God that he would love, cherish, and RESPECT me. Why couldnt he uphold that? I often feel very stupid for things I did and choices I made in regard to him.
Re: For Those of You Who Left newts: Yes and no. When I left my husband I was at a point where I didn't love him or treat him as a wife should have - so yes, the grass was greener because I didn't have to pretend to love somebody I didn't really want to be with and he got to move on to find someone that would love him and respect him in a relationship.
No, whilst I left and was and still am very happy with my decision, I went through hell trying to figure out what I truly wanted and where I truly wanted to be in this life, the problem was I didn't do any work on myself for the first 12mths after the separation and found myself back in a relationship (that was no good for me or my development) and over indulging in my new found freedom. It has only been since I ended this other relationship (12mths ago) that I am truly comfortable with myself and the direction I see myself following and can see that I will have a very successful and happy future ahead of me.
