Thank you all for your posts and for sharing. I am trying to wrap my head around everything that has happened in the past few months. It all seems so surreal. This site has been a lifesaver for me. It has let me know that I am not alone, and what happened to me has happened to a lot of other people as well.

I am trying to remain positive in my life and to be thankful for what I do have. Even though my kids are grown and live elsewhere, they are extremely supportive and loving. My oldest daughter, her husband, and 2 children came down this weekend. My SIL and I did our first Century bike ride on Saturday. How's that for GAL?

I am taking things one day at a time. I accept that my marriage is over. I still love my wife, but realize that it is unrequited. I will work on improving myself and being a better person. I am hoping that happiness occurs as a result. I am restarting IC tomorrow, and will attempt to work on my own issues.
