Even I have my sad moments this seems to be the best thing to do - at least for me. For some reason when he says he loves me I don't feel bad or want to reply in the same way, it just feels little awkward. And now when my family knows about this my stress is suddenly fading away and I have strength again to do things I haven't done in ages. I feel refreshed, mentally. Physically I am still quite exhausted but I will get over it.
...and I always thought that this will be the end of the world. Silly me.:)

Maybe this is this easy as I have in fact been thinking this option almost 3 years... I have done most of my grieving already, now I just have to start cope with facts.
