    Good luck from me too. One positive is that you don’t have kids, IIRC, so you’ll be spared some of the messier complications.

    Good luck to you Russ and to the lovely Mrs Russ….what an agonising decision. It sounds like the right one for you (or the least worst one). I’m sure the fact that you are able to talk about things openly to each other (and even to us webmongs) is a good sign for your future psychological state. Inasmuch as your previous psychological state was in any way normal.

    You know where we are….

    Hope you and your wife find happiness.

    You can always come home now. The winters are marginally better. Everything else is a bit iffy though.

    Sorry to hear about this Russ. Very sad, though as you say, also pretty exciting in a way. Trying to be positive, is there anything that you've immediately thought "I'm going to do that!" - traveling across Vietnam in a TukTuk / fuck your secretary / join a motorcycle gang etc?

    I think his immediate priority might be to get out of his saturday morning fourball.

    Sometimes it's just the little things.

    Nothing gets you out of a yokel fourball like a trip to Bhutan, and I know just the guy.

    Although that guy, even by his chaotic standards, seems to be experiencing a period of unusual chaos currently.

    All the best to all involved, Russ.

    Thanks everyone, I genuinely appreciate the kind words and the advice that everyone has given on this thread and privately. It has helped more than you know.

    I feel like I have simultaneously completely fucked up my life and also made a huge step towards fixing it. I am really excited about what might come next while also terrified of what might come next, and I feel so bad for what I've done to her while also feeling a huge sense of relief at finally being honest about what she's clearly sensed for some time.

    I am not adulting good right now.
