Rachael,

One of the things that I hope to accomplish by writing out some of these nasty memories surrounding my (bomb) anniversary,
is to cleanse my mental palate
so that I might better taste the sweetness of the life I know share with my H.

The other thing that I'm hoping this exercise will accomplish, will be that others find a common thread here.
That it acts as a life line and provide a portion of hope for those of us who are navigating this long and tiresome path.

And please keep in mind, that although I am recounting my H's devious behavior from a year ago, I in no way wish to discount my own responsibility in the overall disintegration of my marriage.
This is key to successfully repairing a damaged relationship and keeping it on track.

Even if your H were to come back home now, do you really think that you have done the work that is so very necessary to hold it all together?

I say this with kindness in my heart, Rachael.

There is still too much focus on the OW.

The lions share of energy NEEDS to go to solutions, not problems.

I know that you know what you need to do, so....

How about writing out some short-term goals along with some actions to support them. Yes, yes?
