Well said.

We've become too powerful - at least in our own minds - and power always corrupts.

Riddle me this: How do you stop caring what others think of you?

I've never much cared what other people think, but I suspect it comes from having at least a hint of arrogance.

Nobody else is going to start a post, looks like I'll have to talk to myself.

A lot of kids under sixteen in my town ride around on electric bikes and scooters. I have my doubts about safety, but they seem reliable enough for going around town, and a lot faster than walking.

They look like fun too.

Isn't mentioning divorce a way of showing an emotion - frustration?

It's a pretty messed up way to show frustration, but it's something.

It seems to me like you and your husband both know you work plenty, even if it's partly unpaid. If you took a full time paying outside job, everyone's lifestyle would have to change significantly.

That's crazy. Did he say why? Were there signs that you can see in hindsight? Is this repairable?

This is a terrible thing to go through. My condolences.

If you have to go, you may as well make the best of it. If you find that it's making you miss the hard stuff, bring that up in a meeting. Maybe it's a common problem and people will have pointers for you.
