Yes, I do see a lot of similarities in our sitch. Including the fact that the OW's are from different countries!
Yes, they were vulnerable because of things that were lacking in our marriages, and whenever I feel bad remembering the EA I just think of how much I have learned about myself, and our M in general, and know that it will lead to a better M in the long run.
Reading the 5 LL's is just one of those .... it does help, because now we are able to explain why certain things affect us more than others.... and stops the "I don't understand why that matters so much to you...." kind of useless argument!

I am glad that you are moving forward. I tell you, it will be two steps forward and one back, so don't get discouraged if you backslide!
