I have been backing off on my posting, but I will be posting more soon, and have been following your sitch closely.
First, awesome job getting to where you are now. You are going through a much worse deal than I am and have handled it so well. Really, remarkably well! I look often to you for inspiration and always find it.
Second, my W went away on an "MLC Escape" weekend about two months ago, as I posted about. Some lessons I learned (some taught here but not listened to by me at the time...).
1. Make a to-do/project list - I stayed busy, which kept my mind off her trip to a degree, and as a bonus, got A LOT done. 2. Focus on those who need you, your kids. We did some fun stuff and it was great, quality, time. I wish I had done even more then. 3. Stay off anything that will connect you to him or her. I have had issues with W on FB as an example, and whenever I saw her on there, or in some other way connected with her through text or calling, it made it worse. I wish I had turned off FB and waited for her to call or text me only. 4. Don't do anything stupid! I found myself doing well, doing well, doing well, then panic moment! Those panic moments made me do some stupid things and I wish I had just kept my cool when they kicked in. 5. Trust the people here, they (you all) are great!
Good luck TVS, one of your big fans will be thinking about you often!

PS - Nice job on the hug. From what you have said, as a husband I think there is nothing wrong with your husband feeling his wife with a hot-bod up close as a reminder of what he is missing!
