I'm here so I don't get fined.

Ok,

I made it from newcomers. Was there about a year. Sitch in my signature, but in brief:

Met in college, playing music. Was a band teacher, now in sales management. EX-WW and I were together for about 18 years, knew each other for about 22. She has been unhappy for a while, and had a ONS about 4 years ago. Rug-sweep, my porn addiction most likely why, and on Oct. 30th last year I discovered the EA, and shnidt hit the fan. Back and forth, but in the end, she wanted OM, who is still married. His kids have already met EX-WW, my kids have done two dates with OM, including the pumpkin hunting (that was one of our old family things, so I have been replaced, as it seems).

Dealing with anger once in a while, but greatly diminished. Angry when I hear things that will affect them do to EX-WW. She has new car, new clothes, doing mild cosmetic surgery, new friends, and has the old house. I spent years getting us out of debt - she has gone right back in, head first.

I'm here to share more of my story, listen to everyone who has advice, vets and rooks alike, and learn how to deal with the loss of a marriage I never wanted to see go away. I am happier that I'm not around EX-WW anymore, but in my faith-life, I was going to be married just one time. Do I stay single? I do get lonely. Am I ready to be in a relationship? nope, I know that 100%. I would like to date, go out and experience life. The pull of the kids, and the life I had, keeps me from completely going full-on GAL. I am running, and have been in IC for the porn addiction for the last year. It was a year clean on Oct. 30th... so I keep working on myself, getting up early, and trying to be the best Trumpet I can be.

I'm excited to be here, and hope ya'll come back and lay the wood on me when I need it.
