(In a recent email H actually claimed he has been intimidated by me for most of our marriage.)
Hi Lise;
I don't think I've ever posted to you but I read everyones posts and take it all in...It's amazing how many of us there are out there...this board has been my saving grace...
I was drawn to a part of your post because just the other night my D15 was texting me and I had apologized for all this and what she is having to go through and this is what she said... "Mom, it's not your fault...it's dads...I think you were the perfect wife and mother and dad couldn't handle it...he needed someone equally as low as he is. He knew he didn't deserve you,so really you're gaining something, realizing who is true in your life, while he is losing everything."
That is from a 15 yr old child who my H thinks doesn't understand relationships....my oh my....she is wise beyond her years...that statement made me think and I think someone spoke through her to deliver it....
I feel the same things you do....I will be married 24 years in October...H's OW's birthday....how's that for a smack in the face..I'm realizing that H has the problem and it's not me... I hope he comes to his senses but who knows, he seems to be loving life right now...
