Ahh....I am so blessed. Ready, my wonderful friend who stayed strong until the end with your wife. You have always been and will always be a wonderful father and giving man. Its funny that you should ask if I have read "The Secret". I bought a copy back in Sept when I was starting to lose hope. I started a gratitude journal and everyday I wrote that my H was going to come back to me. By Oct, the anger became to much and I thought I no longer wanted that.....funny how the Universe will give us what we want in ITS time. I am still trying to learn the lesson of patience. It does not come very easily for me, which is why I probably keep getting smacked with new lessons.
Hope4us, I love what you said. It makes complete since. I will not come off as me being controlling,yet I get to state my boundaries. I dont have to engage with people I do not like or respect and I can see how eventually those kind of friendships will dwindle away. My H has already stated that he just doesnt feel as close to this male friend as he use to (all without me saying a peep). I will state my boundaries without trying to control him. Thank you for that suggestion, it really helped.
Gypsy, my courageous friend....I hope you are still singing at the top of your lungs and life is as beautiful as your voice. Its amazing how much we dread the process of purging and cleaning, yet it serves to cleanse our souls and mind as well. I avoided such things for so long because they meant exceptance for the ending of my M. Funny how once I truly moved on things changed once again.
Thank you for your confidence in me, it gives me strength. I agree, friends first, yet it is so hard to accomplish when it with someone that you know so deeply, so intamately. I am insisting on small steps, one day at a time. I will read the book you suggested because I never want to be in that old realtionship again. And Gypsy, you are the one who is truly phenomenal. You have inspired me in so many ways. Thank you for that. I know one day you will recieve even more love then you thought ever possible.
