I am sure that the email made you feel better about how you have handled yourself through this sitch and it should. No matter what happens in your sitch, you have done what you needed to do and have made changes for you. So dont forget that! Our spouses are stomping on peoples feelings, both yours and the OW. The OW is well aware of the sitch and just cant say anything about it...The OW are smart in that manner because they know the reason our H's are not with us is that wives can be nags. SO OW has to be perfect...And sit there and take it, even if they dont like it.
I was thinking about the people I have known over the years that have cheated and it dawned on me that in most situations, the cheating spouse does not leave. It is usually the spouse that got cheated on that initiates the D because they cant take it anymore. SO with that in mind, there is hope for all of us, if you look at it that way.
You are doing great. YOu ahve inspired people here, myself included.
