Hi, Dawn, my thread is over in piecing, which is kinda what I thought we were doing.

I know at the beginning of this, he said he was staying until our S was out of school, in three more years now.
Then he decided to supposedly work on our M.
He broke down December before last, saying he broke it off with a "special" person. Maybe he tried that once, but I don't know how long it lasted.

He now tells me he loves me, is not going to leave me, not going to D me, and will be here with me for the rest of our lives.

So, I guess ow is going to be around, too??

As for us relating on a daily basis, I rely on my faith so much for my sanity. I want our S to know his mama tried everything to make it work with his daddy and me. The poor kid actually told me that a few times that he admires me for how I have handled things.

You are right, I do get kicked emotionally every day, and I try my best to get through it.

My H, like yours, doesn't seem to have any remorse or guilt, he has said this as recently as this weekend.

He DID say that maybe THIS was a wake up call. Butthead!!
And that maybe this was what it took for ME to realize how bad it was between us.

As for the length of time it takes for the A to end, who really knows? I know they say what the AVERAGE is, but that only means that some last for less time and some for more. It has been going on here for three yrs, but I have only known for two.

As for the infamous Mrs. Bobbit, after I "bobbed" it, I would have run it up a dang flag pole at city hall and let them discover it the next day.

Ahhh... it felt good to say all that!!!
