H4L,

I have read your thread on and off for a while. And I have held my tongue. Because I always thought you had an abusive husband and you should get rid of him. Which is not a nice thing to say to someone hoping to reconcile. But since you are finally dropping the rope, I feel like I can finally say it. You will look back at this time in a year or two, and you will wonder what took you so long...Why you tried to hold onto a man who was so mean and selfish. H4L, you will find love again, and you will build a happy and healthy family. Just not with that man. You will find someone so much better that you will wonder whatever you were thinking. And you will not be jealous of OW or whoever he is with next, because you will be happy that you moved on to a better life.

A lot of people think they need to change threads when the situation changes. I don't believe that. If your friends are here, why not stay here? Surely it doesn't come as a surprise to anyone reading Piecing that not every marriage is saved. You still have a lot of insight and experience that you can bring to the process when others ask questions. Stay true to yourself. You will win in the end.
