Recent medical physical: the nurse took my blood pressure, recorded it, left.
Doc came in, reviewed my chart, took my blood pressure again.
Doc face wrinkled, asked me: "Mr. Forestaken, your blood pressure has improved greatly, what changes have you made in your life?"
Me: "Got divorced"
Doc laughed "I understand, my first husband was like that!"

Congratulations on the improved health and freedom. Your post reminded me that the decision to let go of the pain is all on us. It's a difficult decision, but I think that's why we're all here trying to find the reasons and closure that we seek.
Have a great week everyone!

I want people out there to know that your life will improve after the r/s is over. Life has its normal ups & downs but I no longer walk on eggshells or suffer constant turmoil.
Please everyone: You have 2 lives, you start living the second one when you realize you have only one.

Old joke along the same lines:
"Oh man, my wife ran off with my best friend."
"Well that's... .wait, I thought I was your best friend?"
"Not any more!"
