Re: A thought


Dear Marco,
This kind of experience is so alien to my values that I can't even fathom
how anyone can commit to marriage with such a mind.  My wife was a PWP and a
highly trained nurse, but I cared for her not because I was married to her,
but because I loved deeply with a love that strengthened our bond over the
years.  I could never think of abandoning her at a very vulnerable period of
her life.
Yet you may be better off without such egocentric surroundings.
The support from this list is wonderful but still impalpable so that you may
have to seek counseling in your area and I am sure you will find and develop
new friends...and who knows...........?
Good luck
Michel
