Hello, everyone --

Thank you for checking in on me. It's so nice to know you care.

I'm so sorry for not letting you know how things were going. As things continued to get better with my R, it's almost like here was the last place that I wanted to go to. I hope that somehow makes sense. Maybe it was a reminder of the hurt? I can't really explain it.

Regardless, it is important to me that you all know how much your support, time, encouragement, and strength meant/means to me. There are simply not words to describe my gratitude.

I'm finding myself hurting just writing this for some reason, so I'll keep this short but wanted to update you.

It's still been since June 9th that H has been home every night. Things have progressively gotten better and better, and I can cautiously say that things are better than they ever were before. We ML all the time now; we laugh; our business is going really well; etc. I'm still having a hard time with the trust issue and am continuing to work on that. I realize it's just going to take time, so I'm trying to be patient with myself and not put pressure on him.

More good news is that OW has changed locations of her job and is moving - I believe maybe even out of state.

Bad news is that H had communication this evening with OW via text messages. There hasn't been any other communication between them before this since early June (that I'm aware of at least). The text messages were innocent but were initiated by H and offered to open up the lines of communication in a "friends" way. I'm scared and hurt and don't really know what to do. I just pray that guilt has set in on him and that he needed to say he was sorry to her. Don't know what I'm going to do about this but will just not react for now and will take time to think on it.

So, yes, I do believe and pray that this is a marriage saved. SUCCESS! I will continue to hold on and be the best wife I can be and to learn from this experience.

I hope you all are doing well and that you have success stories of our own. Thank you all again for everything.
