Pick up the pieces when you go

CM,
I keep telling myself that I can live without him. One of these days it will sink in. I'm getting closer, but not quite there yet.


Did anyone happen to watch the Oprah Show today? It was about infidelity. The first couple -- H cheated with best friend's wife. OW also happened to be his W's best friend. The psychologist on there said that infidelity usually starts because our spouses have an unresolved hurt in his/her childhood, so they take the pain out on their spouses. After much prodding he revealed that he was mad at his dad because he never listened to his mother or him and that he was very arrogant.

My DD's 16&19 came in the den while I was watching and wanted to know what it was about and ended up watching also. My D19 made the comment this makes me never want to get married. I looked at both of my DD's faces during this time to see how it was affecting them. I saw both of them rub their eyes. I know they were thinking about their dad. I started to ask them if they wanted to change the channel, but I figured if they didn't want to watch they would have asked to change it or left the room. It's so sad that my H and other cheaters have given my D such a poor outlook on marriage.

Also does anyone have any thoughts about my H taking DD's to lake on OW's b-day? I'm surprised that they didn't plan something big. Her son was out of town the whole weekend.
