Garry,
I just wanted to thank you for this insight. I finally filed for divorce several weeks ago after 25 years with my husband. It is very hard to watch someone that I have spent so many years with, and loved very much at one time, spiraling deeper and deeper. Having an 'expert' say that it is not the 'right' thing to do just adds to the pain.
Happy Easter!
