Hey (((Bill))) Thanks for dropping in with your support - I love it when the guys come calling as, with most of us gals, we like the male perspective!!
Ooooh, I hear you! Family and friends become so ante-WAS that it becomes uncomfortable to discuss. ... I have had a few friends from back home who have dropped off the radar now because they can't cope with me defending H to them. If I can cope with the pain of what he's done, you think that they would too and keep their nebs out - I try to live by the theory that "if you have nothing good to say, don't say it" - evidently it's different here as we have to take the rough with the smooth because that's what will get us to doing the right things. However, I could not hurt my friends as they have hurt me - and most of their advice has been so hypocritical.
Too right it gets lonely. I often have a giggle to myself and wonder how many 'matches' Michelle could get if we opened this forum up as a dating board - there are so many good people here who seem to want the same thing out of life - so many who have experienced the same and would NEVER do it to anyone else. I have read so much from folk who seem to be making good relationships here and wonder how different their lives would be if they got it together and dumped the WASs from a great height - wouldn't that be divine retribution and just what many of them deserve??!!!!! LOL
I'm glad that you feel like me in wanting to say "can this be over now and we work it out together" ... I echo your words that your W said that she had worked on it for so long ... but you never knew what was in her head. Ditto for me and my H.
It's weird being alone again after having been a partner for so long, isn't it? You don't have to consider anyone else for anything else - not even down to the dinner you eat (alone) or the time you go to bed (alone) - nor even if anyone has fed the pets. It's all down to you - and you alone.
Hang on in there Bill and I would appreciate your (fast) response to the following, if you are around .... ?!!
