My lifelong commitment is to conscious growth. My commitment to my relationship is to Erin's growth and my own. Those commitments are still ongoing and haven't ended.
Our relationship continues although the marriage is ending. Erin and I still relate to each other. We had breakfast together this morning and talked on the phone for almost an hour before that. I don't perceive this as a failure when it's really a change of form to improve the ongoing relationship.
