Not Lost Anymore!Being the best version of ME!

[Card29]

Hi Pattnee, it was great to hear your report after ~1 year since BD. I wasn't around the board when you went through the worst of yours, but I know what it's like. I hope life is feeling great for you today. I wanted to highlight and agree with one thing, which others have:

I agree MRP there is a lot of guilt and shame in his telling me to date. To be honest I don’t even think he means it, but is saying it to relieve his shame.

You nailed this. My xW(#1) said the same thing to me. I remember posting that here and people told me "she's saying that to justify the affair she's having". I said no way. Eventually found out they were right. It never ceases to amaze me with how many overlaps all of our stories have. I think it's a big reason why this forum is so helpful. While everyone is unique, even the copy-paste "welcome to the board" posts are incredibly helpful because of all of the similarities.

Enjoy your summer. Maybe send some heat back to the US. We're freezing our ___ off up here
