Thanks for the 'support' guys. As with everything there is more behind the scene than will be made 'public'. We ARE splitting on 'good' terms.
It all boils down to me not being wired for any kind of 'family' type situation. There was a reason I was single for 30+ years.
A VERY GOOD woman is hurt and disappointed now, that need not be if I'd not fallen under the 'Maybe, just maybe this time'..spell, and deep inside know it would NOT work....something I will carry for the rest of my life, hurting her...
