I can relate, am 8y out from W A.... We have R, wd are different and I experienced a lot of the same feelings mentioned here.....
But what really helped me was getting to a point where my marriage and romantic relationship doesn't define me or my life, I have so much more than that.... I hear some say "marriage that was everything in my life, etc..." and I thing that just makes R so much harder
I had to learn to let go of marriage being on a pedestal and being so central to me, it took time, but I feel so much better, am very successful in my career, I run a global team of engineers and we do stuff that makes life better, that's what's all about for me, is no longer all about my marriage.....
