We aren't allowed to link outside sources, do a Google search on "We were married for 10 years and lonelier than ever – then THIS happened and changed everything"

Amazing read.

Yes but unfortunately the reality is that it usually takes the dissolution of the marriage and time and space for the spouse to realization that they are responsible for their own happiness.

Very true. However, this story is amazing because you see that the H didn't do the classic crying, begging, pleading etc. Obviously these folks are religious and he immediately took the issue to prayer (which I am a huge advocate for, by the way). I also like how the W immediately realized that her happiness was up to her, not her husband.

Anyway, I thought it was a good story and shows how not pressuring and not pursuing can work.
