I've been away from the board for quite some time. It's even rare that I peak in because I find it somewhat painful to see some of my "old friends" still on here, still stuck in the muck and mire of the struggle to reconcile.
Several of us often talked about the need to have a Topic Board for those who have "made it" (or are making it) and the trials, tribulations and ponderings of this phase of our 'new' relationship with our previously betraying spouse.
So I thought, what the heck I'll start one here for anyone that wonders what it's like when you DO "Make It" AND for those who now have a year or more of reconciliation/co-habitation under their belt, to come out and share their experiences.
It's also a place for those who just want to be reassure that reconciliation IS POSSIBLE no matter how bad the betrayal may have been.
AND the reality of Life After Betrayal as well as the celebration of the NEW US.
Because believe it or not, whether you 'reconcile' or not, YOU will be a stronger, better person to yourself than you ever imagined you could be, once YOU make YOURSELF the FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT priority in your life.
