OMG! So very true!!

Also agree. they dynamics of a marriage today or very different from 40-50 years ago. I died inside, am going back to school, making new contacts and friends, and feel something again.

I agree. I have lots of empathy after feeling dead for many years in a joyless marriage that probably looked normal

But we have separated and both want out. It feels like clouds have gone and I can see the sun again. I have no one at the moment but I feel alive again. People could spit in my face and I would now say thank u have a good day because I feel good
