Chiel, I really respect and admire your resilience through this whole incident. My mom has a saying - “everything that happens, happens for good”, and I think that’s definitely the case here for you. I’m sorry it’s been such an emotional ride, but like many have said already, it’s probably better that you found your dealbreaker in the early stages of your marriage. What a blessing that you were able to go to your mom and doggos for the emotional support (and hugs!) that you need!
Thank you for sharing your progress and your life with us, and please feel free to keep your updates as long or short as you would like. We will read and appreciate them and you either way!
