Denver...I was told to check in on you here smile

I understand the feeling of getting socked in the gut when the affair is revealed.

My thing was that I had made it very clear that THAT was a deal breaker
and
then when it happened

I found it really wasn't so much

and
then

I was stuck with the idea of saving face almost?!?!?

If your heart knew an affair happened then you have already been dealing with it

Whoever said that 3 months is not a long time is right

when you practice DB....you kind of are in it for life
because it is a life change

I am no longer with my ex...(long story, sort of movie of the week) but I am with the most amazing person...a man who loves my lights and darks and is practiced at the art of Dbing himself. Our relationship is the envy of others on the outside because they don't know the work that we went through to get here

so


When you are in it for the long haul
you will still get angry
scary white hot angry
that doesn't change....
how you deal with it does

Cori and I learn from each other every day but one of the greatest gifts we give each other is never taking the other person for granted. I know how lucky I am and so does he and we tell each other everyday.

Might be a nice habit to get into

because when you say it outloud, you not only tell the other person, and yourself, but you tell the world

it is a new beginning

she has to forgive you
you have to forgive her
and you both have to forgive yourselves

tough work
every day

but this is a chance to begin again
