FeelingLonely98 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 NC doesn't make the person dead. You know all the way through, that this person is very much alive. No, This person is NOT very much alive. NC or not, makes no difference. In my case the STBXW that I knew for 16 years is dead, gone, vanished, kaput. Has nothing to do with NC. Has to do with the mid-life transition that evolved into an ugly MLC that led a quite seemingly content 47 yr old slightly overweight, uneducated, poor, unemployed woman to leave a good M for an 18 yr old HS student. Now, maybe, just maybe, this person that has taken over the dead person is the REAL her. Who knows? I doubt it though. Yes, she is physically alive, but the her I knew is dead. hope this makes sense ... I'm sure most on LS would agree with this to some extent.
FeelingLonely98 Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 OP's original post: So, when a spouse walks away to "find him/herself": 1 person is happy (the WAS) 1 person is devastated (BS) 1+ kids can be messed up ...more people suffer when a spouse walks away in order to find their own happiness, ... I had forgotten what this thread was about. I do like the direction it has taken ... interesting and meaningful posts.
LisaUk Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Lisa, I wish I could convey how sorry I am to have hurt you. Looking back over my old posts I sound so clinical. I hate that you're feeling this way and hope things improve for you soon. I toyed briefly with the idea of a combined MD/JD program here in the States but ultimately decided I wouldn't use the JD much anyway. I have much respect for you and see so much potential in such an introspective, loving person. I hope you do well in your studies. I told another poster I would kill to be your age again at the top of my game. You're there right now! Thank you Curiou, I know your intention was to help me and I appreciate that, as you can probably imagine I'm a bit over sensitive right now! I'm just trying to get through this the only way I know how. I'm not sure what a JD is?
Author soheartbroken Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 I'm not sure what a JD is? JD is a law degree in North America. In Canada they called it an LLB, but some schools are making the switch now. Juris Doctor. This is what I would be working toward if I hadn't left law school (temporarily??).
LisaUk Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 Thanks SHB, it's LLB here to, but for me it's GradDip ( law conversion, converts my BSc to LLB), so Curiou, could I ask why would you want a law degree as well as an MD (that doctor right?), seems a funny combination?
