Dom I've had way too many threads to count on here starting fall of 2005 and frankly I don't even know how to go back to "thread 1". I'm sure it would be an interesting read though. Here's a quick summary: W and H have a SSM from the start H leaves in 2004 with no advance warning after 9 years of M W proceeds to attempt to woo him back to no avail and then decides f-this and finds OM H decides he wants to reconcile around summer of 2005 W comes to this board in turmoil because she is taking him back but still feels very torn. Is it the right thing? W meets all sorts of great people here and attempts to work on the M W still has ups and downs at home and can't really seem to make enough progress on the sex issue W starts forming a close friendship with board member and that causes all sorts of board scandal for a while W also receives email from the separation OM and causes another drama on the board regarding that unfinished business W takes a needed break from all the chaos for a while to commit full force to the M - doesn't make a difference W returns to board yet again and seeks feedback and support W decides enough is enough and here we are today
