I had a marriage that had so much frustration and anger it wasn't worth it, especially because the kids were getting personality problems because of it. I was terrified of leaving and waited until I was pretty much squashed like a bug, but looking back it was a good decision. Now I actually see some positive qualities in my soon-to-be ex. (Isn't there a word that equals fiance, in reverse?) I could never be with him again though; it was a mistake from the beginning. I knew that but I just couldn't face being alone again. Now I am but because we're friends it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I just need a new life. I can't believe how much of *me* was wrapped up in the day-to-day marriage. And how much of *me* was just surviving, not living.
