I'm so glad that my story has helped so many of you and you can find yourself relating. That's what helped me get through this too, being able to find a forum with people who I could relate to and people who could understand me. The toughest part of the whole thing is that you can't talk to anyone about it. Not only do you fear judgement of you, your children, and your spouse, but no one gets it either. You can't explain it. No one gets it unless they're in it.
BTW, I told H about the sentiment here of my story being read like a romance novel. That made me smile. H's response was, "Uh, really?" He was a bit embarrassed to say the least. I told him not to worry about it. It has nothing to do with him. I'm just a really good writer. Hah!
I get it though. I remember rH talking about kissing her husband again, for the first time, and my heart melted for her too.
I really hope all of you have that same experience, and I believe if you're here and you're putting in the effort...you really will. It just may not be how you expect it or how you at this moment you hope it will be. It will be exactly what you want at the moment it happens.
