Yes, the pain of such information would be VERY hard. You said it’s the hardest thing you dealt with. I can’t even imagine Denver, unless I go through it. There’s a decent chance that I will eventually have to go through that unimaginable and brutal realization.


Yeah, I agree. At BD, W told me she couldn't be with any other man. She just needed to be alone. I believed her and I have to say it did help me get used to the idea of us being separated. By the time she told me about OM, I'd hardened a bit and managed to take it reasonably well. Don't take me wrong. Living everyday with this in my life is really the toughest thing I have ever done. There is not a day when it doesn't tear my heart apart and when I don't feel physical pain about it. Thankfully, I've since learned to deal with these thoughts and it does get a bit easier in the end, until the next sign that W is or is going to be with him. Then it starts all over again.
It's tough but watching my family falling apart isn't a walk in the park either so we do what we have to do to save our families, marriages and selves.

Good luck to you mate!
