Steve, you said:
But an even deeper causal factor beneath that was my commitment to conscious growth. The desire to relate to other people as consciously as possible eventually made it impossible to continue giving my power away to an external structure like a marriage. That was a problem for both of us. For years we fell into the trap of treating the marriage as something more powerful than ourselves, something we must preserve at all costs even when it didn’t make us happy to do so. I’m glad we finally saw the folly in that mindset.
Did you not see marriage as an internal commitment between both of you rather than just as an external structure?
This is a bit delicate, so tell me to take a hike if need be, but what do you think about Erin's involvement with the occult?
Do you think her talking to spirit guides may have widened the gap between your two paths to such an extent that your marriage was no longer real?
You strike me as a practical, down to earth guy who wouldn't have much time for such things. Or, did you share her occult interests?
