I had to get 7 in there, even though I really am on #8. I feel the loss of my best friend as well. Since we had 4 kids, we relied on each other so much for what we did socially. We almost always did things as a family. We should have done more things as just us but all I can do from that now is put that in as a reference for the future.

My H and I never did things as a couple always as a family, and that obviously isn't good. I've really learned that from this experience, and would never do that again!!! But I think a lot of married people probably do that and they don't always have one of the spouses have an affair and want divorce either. So I think it is more than just that, but that certainly doesn't help.
But geez, I think I've learned about 100 things from this, grew up a little, it's important to have some "me" time like you say so we can be a better mom (and wife hopefully at some point) etc. This sucks but I think I did get a lot smarter from it, too bad there wasn't a way I could have learned all this without the pain though!
