Bad husband! No nookie!

[Wahine]

Wahine, your new bf gave you great advice!

Yeah. And he rides a bike like a daemon.

We were friends before I was separated and it was actually the fact that he, as my friend only and with no expectations, treated me better and with more sensitivity than my husband did that made me reevaluate what I wanted. I thought long and hard about my decision to leave and it was the scariest thing I have ever done. But almost exactly one year later, I am very proud of myself for making a decision that ultimately is better for both of us and doing it in a responsible adult manner that has allowed my ex and I to still be friends and have an ongoing positive relationship, albeit a very different one.

So now I'm on a new path and I intend to work really hard to make this last as long as it's healthy for both of us.
