SOP - Lay off. I agree that you have the right to state your opinions on this BB too, but if all you can do is point fingers and try to stir Sh%t, limit it to your thread and we'll all come visit you when we feel like fighting. Quit trying to hijack other peoples situation and emotions for your purpose. It actually make you look less credible, and more weak.
Prodigal, I don't have any of the eloquent analogies that the others have offered, but I will say this: I commend you on the fact that you were able to turn your situation around from the brink, and re-enter your marriage. As you said it took a lot of work, and I am sure that there were times where either one or both of you questioned if it was worth it. Although I don't think any of us will ever "get there", because it is a jouney not a destination, it appears that you are on the right path.
Secondly you were brave enough to come on this board not knowing the reception you would receive, and offer information and insight from your perspective. To me that is a sign of strength. Although you may have had weak moments, or even a weak period of time, your strength and that of your husband is what got you both through to this point.
Bravery is not the absence of fear, it is the ability to continue on despite it.
Thanks for your contributions here

How was my post a highjack? (read: it wasn't) I'm not trying to stir [censored], I'm pointing out what I see as a fact. Prodigal was doing what she thought was best for her, not her husband or the marriage. To continue to speak with the OM after the affair ended is disgusting, to defend it even worse.
