i am so sorry, hoosjim... i had wanted to respond to your thread today about the wine hour and discussion that followed, but I worked late... And then i thought Don H said it best.

i just want to say everything your W has been up to, i have done the same... i can truly see how cruel i was to my H... i think what we have done is even more cruel than spouses who are blatant in their betrayals... Because we give hope, false hope... And other LBSs see positive movement in your sitch and wish the same for themselves, and that adds to the encouragement... i am sorry, hoosjim... i have seen your pain up close and personal...
