Kristi is right! You have been behaving so admirably and courageous! I wish I had half the resolve you have! Plus you throw in some humor and some flirting here and there! You are doing everything the best way possible.
Sidenote: I threw in a cautious little flirt in a response to a text from my W and she seemed to take it well and responded with humor. I'll try some more and see where that leads!
{{{A in Ohio}}} Wow thank you for keeping up with me..I really appreciate it I think if you guys keep telling me I'm strong perhaps I'll believe it so I appreciate it!
LOL {{{Hope}} You made me laugh with that invasion of the body snatchers..guess we should see if the director/writer was a 30/40 something divorce/separated person eh?
{{{JWM and Carp}}} I'm glad you occasionally get to see the old person trying to work their way out..hopefully they will "find" themselves again!
{{{Kristi}}} Well I personally think the letter you sent your hub was stronger than what I've done, but thank you very much YOU stay strong and stay focused and remember how wonderful and important YOU are!! Blessings right back!

Tawnya - Excellent point about getting thru the holidays. Sometmes I feel like I have to go above and beyond for the kids sake. It might be a good idea to scale back and have quality, rather than quantity?
Hey there {{Beth}} thanks for checking in..whether I'll get to make it to my class tomorrow or not, I'm not sure..
I have dinner tomorrow early evening with my mom and stepdad, then have to clean the building I clean..so I dunno..we'll have to see how long the dinner takes..but we would be having a 2 week break anyway for Christmas and New Years..so missing this week won't be tragic if you know what I mean..
I hope you are having a good night..mine's pretty tame, hub is on call this week, so I know for sure he won't be home until at least 9..it's after and he's still not home..so..
Feeling better than I did last night with this cold/congestion whatever it is.

I just read your posts. You are so awesome. We are so much alike but you definately have more strength then I do right now. My H does not have OW in his life, at least not that I know of, but I am sure it will only be a matter of time. But you handled yourself with such grace and respect.
I am sure once it starts to sink in what he is really losing he may reconsider. And if not one day he will miss you and realize what a huge loss it was.
Funny how they get so wrapped up in the new and the adventures that come with it that they can't see what is real and true.
Stay strong and stay focused. I know by reading your stitch it is inspiring me to do the same.
Bless you.

Tawyna, may I introduce the young lady that I told you about. This is Kristi, one of my new "sweeties". Kristi, thank you for doing what I asked and just taking the first step and saying, "Hi, I'm Kristi". I am proud of you! I am proud of Tawyna also, but she has not always been the tower of strength you see before you today (am I right Tawyna?) so it does take time to get there. The amazing thing for me was that both of yu reached the same decision the same day.....I think. At least I read it the same time....LOL. Anyway, you do both have so much in common and I am glad that you have met b/c I want the two of you to help each other in supporting one another. Both of you are very special in your own rights.
As I have warned you, and you know already, that there will be some hard days. AmyM needs our support right now b/c she had a bad day and her heart is hurting. She is mad and she is scared and that is when we lose ourselves. That is why I keep "preaching" to you (my sweetheart girls) that you have to prepare yourselves and work on you by giving yourselves all the affirmation you need to keep your PMA going and get that spunk in gear and go out there and kick butt. Well, kick your heels up a little any way..... Just trying to lighten the mood. So, I'll leave you two alone to talk and get acquainted. You're going to love each other! I do!

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
{{{Sandi}}} And we certainly all love you my friend!! Thank you for introducing us and yes..we are supporting each other for sure Kristi is a strong woman herself..and whether I am a "tower of strength" LOL..I dunno..but I have definitely found more strength in myself these last few months than I thought I had, that's FOR SURE..as we probably all can testify!
I've already stopped by Amy's thread..but I am headed there again to see if she's checked in!
Sandi..preach anytime! I hope you are doing well my dear friend
