Pink, it sounds like you did really well today. A tough thing to go through and you got through it. It sounds like you coped better than your H. I'm sorry to hear he was distressed. He has made some bad choices lately and is lying on the bed he has made now.

I can understand your anger towards him. It takes a lot of time to find peace in our situations and for the anger to pass. I'm not there yet, and nor are you - that's okay.

But, I'm pleased to see that you are looking forward. Looking forward to having this difficult phase behind you and moving on towards joy.

As others have said, D does not make a difference in terms of standing. That is entirely up to you - stand or don't stand. We all understand and will support whichever way. Only you get to decide.

For now, be gentle with yourself, and enjoy some peace when you can. Take some time to recover and enjoy the many good things in your life.

Thank you so much for your lovely post on my thread which made me cry - the part about looking in the mirror and not feeling shame. That is so important. Being a LBS is one of the most difficult things I have ever gone through. But I am glad not to be the WAS. I think that is harder.

Take care my lovely friend....I will wear pink for you tomorrow xx
