Oh thanks rH, that does make sense "When the time comes where you will have to make the decision to put the pain behind you, it won't be like now. It will be with your H's arms around you. So...it will feel totally different than now where you're an island."
I DO feel island-like. My H was sounding off on any.number of subjects last night, and said that he feels every experience he's had, good AND bad, has taught him something. Oh course I validated, and actually agree, but WANTED to say something like oh yeah, buddy, what life lesson has being an unfaithful SOB taught you. Oh well, his eyes will be open someday, with his arms (and other assorted body parts) back with me :)
TVS is on my mind too. I sure hope her H can put aside FT for a couple of days, and concentrate on his family.
And Wonka, I'd love to see the grandkids more, but they live about 2 1/2 hours away, so babysitting is sort of a big production. I do it ocasionally but it takes lots of planning.
