Cat,

Fortunately, not all of them had cheated on their wives.... At least, I don't think so???? However, my FIL went and he did (he married the OW!!!). Not a great role model...

I tried not to make too much of a fuss about the trip because it was planned before we had reconciled, and my husband didn't have to pay for it (his father bought the tickets). Also, since it was paid for he was somewhat obligated to go.

I wasn't happy at the time, and the longer he was gone, the angrier I felt. Also, friends supported my anger saying they'd be angry if their husband's had done the same. But looking back now my level of anger seems kind of dramatic. Sure it was not great and it was the type of sitch that could offer poor behavior, but everything comes down to... do I want to keep my family together? It's easy to say "chuck it" but I've lived the reality and that's not easy in any way.


There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
