And now something Unexpected

I have some news.

It's not joyous. It's not easy to share. It's not on my "2006 to do" list.

I have left my husband.

Without disclosing too much gore, there is no third party. We have behavioural problems that need addressing & I have taken drastic steps to emphasise my intolerance.
I hope we can reconcile one day. For the first time in many years, the pursuit of motherhood has become priority number 21.

I will still drop in, of course. I feel strangely alienated right now, in my real life & in blogland.

The clear road ahead can so quickly become obscure & bumpy.
......man, this really sucks.

Oh wow, man I am so sorry to hear this. You've written before about some difficulties, but also about making up, and the fun you guys had together. This is truly awful. I hope you'll get through this. Big hug.

Mony! Jeeeesus Christ. This must be such a terrible time for you. I truly admire the amount of courage you must have, I know there was no way that decision was easy to make.

Along with all those commenters above, I hope you find some peace and I hope some good comes from this. I'm so sorry.

Delurking to wish you the best. I made a similar difficult decision. At the time, it devastated so many people. In the end, it made so many people happy. Again, whatever the best path for you is, I hope that you find it.

oh wow - you are right - I didn't expect that! I do hope you are okay, and I also commend you for the courage of taking this step for the better good of all. I do hope it has the desired effect and things go the way you want them to. Sometimes I wish I had half the guts you are displaying. Good on you girl and all the very best.

Marital crises are hard nuts to crack. I hope you find a resolution soon, either way.

You are very courageous.

Like Sparkle said, Please don't feel alienated.

I didn't just read your blog because it was IF but because of who you are. You will be missed.

I'll be thinking about you.

Oh Mony, I know how hard this is. I hope that your very courageous step has the desired effect and that you are both able to do what is necessary to take these problems very seriously and work through them.

But if you aren't, then I think you are an incredibly brave and smart woman for taking care of you and not allowing yourself to be caught in a relationship that doesn't make you happy.

Thinking of you and hoping you don't stay away long.

Mony, I want to jump through this damn blog and give you a hug. Some of your previous posts have left me wondering if there were some problems. I think you are very brave/smart to do what is right for you. I hope that this next while isn't too difficult and that you've got the support/love of friends and family.
p.s. - am I free to persue my woman crush on you now?
