Jamie,
I just want to conmend you on a job well done. I hope things go well for you and your family. I've also been helped by your wisdom.

If I remember correctly you and I had alot in common. My H and I are also piecing things back together, but I guess I haven't truly detached. When things are going good I tend to start expecting too much, and always end up gettig hurt again.
There's an OW in the picture and it's been 15 months since I found out about her. (H said that it's over but that's not my first time hearing that.) At first H was ready to give up everything to move in with her. But over time he seems to want his family. When I think everything is going good between us then I find out that they are still seeing each other.
I do believe that one day I will be a sucess story, but as they say "As long as OW is in the picture"....you know the story.
Things have improved he tells me that he loves me he, and we're planning on going on a cruise later this year. I just afraid of being hurt again and again.
My question is how do I handle this? I've tried "acting as if" and it helps sometimes.
I do know that things are a hellavalot better than this time last year. I just need advice on how you handle these issues. And any other advice you may have on detaching.

I hope you don't mind the questions but you should know that with every sucess story comes alot of questions.

Again congrats on you sucess and I hope that you don't mind helping us along the way.
