[Evans, Marv]

My first wife & I never fought or argued but over our ten years of marriage, our lives evolved in separate directions professionally and socially. I recognized that and planned to make my exit. When she was in Peru, I rented an apartment, moved everything I was taking (which wasn't much beyond my tools & clothes) and left her a letter on the floor inside the front door saying, Dear Xxxxxx, I have gone and will not be returning." When she returned, one of her girlfriends brought her home from the airport. The ironic thing is that the girlfriend's former husband had done the exact same thing to her the year before. I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders, because I was out of a relationship that just wasn't working out & appreciated the opportunity to get out for a fresh start. If you can, I think concentrating on the fact you have the opportunity of starting with a fresh slate and looking forward to a good restart is the key. Best of luck to you wayner.
