Thanks labug. I hope we can all continue to share, advise and learn here.

At your stage, I was hoping to find more oldtimers who would tell me how they saved their marriage. But alas - they are few and far between.

What I CAN tell you is that there is more than one road to happiness. Each of us has several forks in the road that we will reach - but it is up to us to choose one and go with it - making decisions along the way. If we listen to those who have gone before us - sometimes we can make more informed decisions. Or not. It's all a personal choice.

Myself and many others who are here are SURVIVORS. We have been through what we thought was the worst thing that could have ever happened to us. And lived to tell about it. How we managed financially. How we moved on to better, more fulfilling relationships, how we helped our children come through it with minimal damage.

I hope that my experience can help in some way. And no more references to Football teams. Mea culpa!
