[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to incorporate elements of this but am buckling a little under the weight of I guess mourning what I thought was possible, realizing there is contempt from him towards me, missing sex and missing having interest in each other and our lives.  He's also having a minor emotional affair and ...I want so badly to not care anymore.  I can some days.

I am working on keeping myself busy and cultivating my own interests and networks.  I know I can't change any of his actions or emotions and I don't try.  Did you have a mourning period before not caring?[/quote]

I'm not sure I had a mourning period.  I just decided I had 2 choices: either figure out how to live in this marriage or get a divorce.  Anger and resentment were no longer an option.  So I had to detach in order to stay.[/quote]

Apathy makes horrible relationships bearable.  This is the key to surviving a long soul sucking marriage without having the very happiness sucked out of you. Its kind of like today's political process.[/quote]
