I decided to make the move to Surviving rather than bunny hop to Separated.
I cannot believe the man I thought was the most honorable, kind, generous, caring, sweet, loving person I could ever meet is going to be my ex-husband. It's very surreal.
In a nutshell: *Married August 13, 2004 *Another person has been involved on an emotional level since year two. *I freaked out during a vacation that included this OW (my former best friend). A living Hell ensued. *Found DB and have been busting my ass since March to no avail. *In late July we decided enough was enough - time to divorce. *I'm moving this week. *I'm more confident than I've ever been and know I'll be happy again.
Drinks are on me.

We have come so far, my friend. I have NEVER gone back to read my old posts, from the very start. Too painful to relive 2007. I can't do it. We are in such better places. It does still hurt though.
lwb, my inspiration. Your example of strength has helped me more than you know. I'll steal one of my favorites words you use: Blecky. That's how I feel if I even think about going back to read my first posts. BLECKY. PUKE. BARF! I told my husband soon to be ex-husband a while ago that as much as I hate this experience, it's been one of the best things that's happened to me.
Would you like that margarita on the rocks or frozen? Salt?

You don't mind if I shorten your name do you? Did you really have to pick a name that was so long? Anyway, don't mind me a little cranky tonight!
Of course you will be fine. The only time we grow is when we find ourselves backed in a corner. This is our chance to become the people we always wanted to be and to make the life that brings us happiness.
Welcome and you're already fitting in since you brought booze. Your description of your STBX is the same as everyone else's here. Who'd of thought, huh?
(((GFI))) You my darling are/will always be my inspiration. You rock way too much for this to hold you back.
You are a beautiful, intelligent, funny woman with a heart of gold and the lucky man that gets you will hopefully be smart enough not to let you get away, but not in a creepy, stalker, lock you in the basement, kiss the girls way. Return of the Snark!
Love you doll....

Hey GFI, you are right in that you will be just fine.
While I am sorry you are over here, I am also glad you decided to join us.Watch out though, Mike has already made himself right at home over here......
I will take a Shot of Jaeger chilled with a red bull chaser...
