I'm respecting that even though it's very hard for me because I worry about how the girls are doing. I just have to trust that their fathers (both earthly and heavenly) can take care of their needs without my help. Thanks for asking.

It's almost harder to walk away from a marriage where there's no life or death (literally) struggle going on. People on the outside say "We're shocked! You seemed just fine together!", so you don't ge a lot of sympathy or support. How can you explain to an outsider that you felt the walls closing in around you, or that both you knew that you had married for a lot of wrong reasons and you could see that it was never going to come together? For me, the internal discussion went something like, "I only have two years invested in this marriage. Should I keep flailing away at it or write it off and move on?" Part of my decision to "walk" was based on my huge "flight" (vs. fight) response, which I'm working to overcome, but I do think it was the right decision. Hang in there!

First night sifting through blogs - ever. Have to say I was genuinely touched by your post. I too have made difficult choices that were necessary - necessary to the very deepest part in me. I salute you and wish you nothing but the best on your journey. I have spontaneously written a haiku for us all: Stirrings of my Soul; Calling me, I know not where; To follow is Life. :) Came across your blog for the first time via Dave’s Blogography.

It was the right decision for me and my son then and I've never regretted it. I came to similiar conclusions when I left my own marriage years ago.
