Thanks! Writing's always been a passion of mine. My sister tells me I should turn my whole sitch into a novel. Maybe one day...

Thanks again. Yes, my support here has been great and I'm very thankful.

On the sex/the snip/no daughter issue: Very early in my sitch, probably a week after BD, I did sincerely apologize for this. And since then I've told her how much I regret making the decision without her input, and how I would do things so differently if I had a time machine. Right now I just have too much anger to do this again, and I don't think it'll change anything for my W. But I have thought about saying or writing something when I cool down, possibly post-D. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah, s14 has been very difficult lately. But thanks for encouraging me to be more persistent with him. It's honestly hard to find things to get him out of the house for. Dinner and a movie is the one thing that's worked for me. I guess I'll try to play that card again.

EA/PA/FA: I haven't read or heard too much about the FA, so thanks. An FA definitely happened in the beginning of my sitch (I found out this was actually pre-BD) where she was flirting with random guys on Facebook. Since then she's moved on to at least an EA. Her heart has been checked out for a while. The FA was something I felt I could easily forgive. The EA and possible PA - I'm not so sure about forgiving those.

Yes, I'm fine now, thanks. I guess I never mentioned that we'd made it through ok. There was no impact to my home or job, or to the kids school. I faced a big one back in '05, so I'm a hurricane expert at this point wink
