Well, I'm holding out for a two years past bomb-day to write a full blown success story.
Mothers' Day was ok. I would have been bummed if it had all been about the boys (the oldest didn't even call to say "Happy Moms' Day)!
Wolfie did give me a card. Not exactly a MD card, I think he found the cards for people that cheated on their spouse section--who knew they had a card for ALL occassions! Anyway, the best part was what he wrote because it was a sincere apology and a promise never to break my heart again. It certainly took a good long while for him to get out of his own self-centered mindset before, during, and after the A.
I did have a rough time last week. I've gotten used to the triggers, but I think I had a full-blown punch in the gut flashback. He was getting ready for bed as I was getting ready for work. Suddenly, it hit me--all of those months that he had waited for me to leave for work so he could talk on the phone with OW. It didn't feel like a bad memory, it felt like a full-on anxiety attack out of nowhere. It really knocked the wind out of me & I had to go throw up. It took a couple of days for me to talk about it because the experience was so intense.
Ick--infidelity, the gift that keeps on giving! It has gotten better, though. Time and a truly remorseful formerly-unfaithful spouse are great healers.
