Two years ago on Christmas Day, I came to this forum to post. I came because my exH (then my H) and I had been separated for 3 months. He had come over for Christmas breakfast and to watch the kids open their gifts. I had hoped he would make a day of it, instead he stayed for a grand total of 2 or 3 hours. I was hurt, angry, and disappointed. I vented all of that here on the board.
That day, Bworl responded to my post. It was the first time he had posted to me. I had read his posts and was familiar w/ his sitch. I remember being thrilled that he had posted to me. We began posting back and forth to one another and instantly a friendship was formed. Soon we were instant messaging, emailing, talking on the phone, text messaging, and even making plans to meet.
Now, here we are...2 years later. We are now married to one another and on Sunday, we will be celebrating our 6 month wedding anniversary. Today is also an anniversary of sorts...it is the anniversary of our first posts to one another.
Someone started another thread the other day asking for success stories. While it is true that Bworl and I both came here hoping to save our first marriages, we were both unsuccessful at that. But, what we did along the way and in the end, was so much better. We both we able to look at ourselves and see the mistakes we had made in our first marriages. Mistakes that we have learned and grown from. And, even more importantly, we found true love...unconditional love.....with one another. As we have said so many times, out of the ashes of two broken marriages, a new one was formed. One based on truth, honesty, love, and commitment.
So, were we successful? Oh, yeah!
Bworl....this post is to you! Thank you for taking the time two years ago on Christmas Day to post to me. To help me through a sad and difficult time. To share w/ me your words of comfort and wisdom (as you do for so many others here on the boards).
