Has your W brought up any kind of relationship talk? Your situation is very unique. I respect that you are still standing. Not many would.

Thank you LH. Part of the reason I don't talk about it is that people get very offended. I don't begrudge anyone their beliefs. But these things do happen and the psychological effects take time to unravel especially when you bury these things like I did and pretend everything is okay

No, no R talks in years but S knows where I am if she wants to talk smile

Nothing to be sorry about Steve. You didn't do anything.
I don't fault anyone for their beliefs. I'm glad you tried to help there's no way you could have known

I'm very glad you have a good support group its very important in hard times smile
