So being seperated is not as bad as i imagined! Better alone than with someone who wants to constantly change you
Prior to my divorce many moons ago, I remember saying to myself “I’d rather be miserable with you than to be alone”.
That statement shocked me - in the way I needed to be shocked. It clarified that I needed to respect myself.
The constant criticism, spoken or not, the stick-in-the mud attitude, the do not smile it is inappropriate to be happy....should have got out Decades earlier
