Thank you for thinking of me putter. I do still keep an eye on you (and others) while my W and I piece our M back together.

I will be moving back in with my W in Oct. My step-S isn't very pleased with the move, but my W and I decided that moving forward in our M is more important than playing into his games of guilt and self-pity. God willing, step-S will be moving out in Nov., so he only has to "put up" with me for one month. Maybe someday my step-s will realize that I am not the bad guy he makes me out to be.

My W and I spend everyday together as we continue to expand on our lines of communication. My W is still dealing with the guilt and shame of her PA. I told her I have forgiven her for her infidelity and I apologized for my actions that may have played a role in her PA. My W says she still needs to forgive herself.

My W wishes she had never told me about the PA, but I told her I am grateful she told me. It wouldn't be fair for her to have to deal with this on her own. I told her it's better for me to know the truth rather than have any doubts lingering in my head. We will both overcome this hurdle(PA) as we learn, live, and grow together.

The love we now experience with one another is amazing. For the first time in many years, we both feel as though we are working together in our M. We continue to read the exercises in "The Five Love Languages" in order to stay focused on us. Neither of us wants to lose the loving feeling we are experiencing right now.

We feel we now have all the tools needed to keep our M loving, healthy and happy and we are committed to using those tools each and every day for the rest of our lives.

Learn from the past...live for the present...grow for the future.
