GG...so good to hear from you. It makes me smile to know how far we've come over the years...I guess it shows others that things can turn around, but it's never a quick fix...it takes time and lots of issues have to be fixed along the way. Keep up the great work. I think of all of you so dearly...those who were with me during those horrrible times, giving me encouragement when you were also going through such a horrible time. That's why I like to write something every once in a while, because I know that you, like me, probably check in every once in a while but don't post very often any more. I am forever grateful to you, Patience(Hope), JennyB, and cthomas...all of you my strength when I didn't think I had any more. Thanks. Karen Loretta, I love to hear that others are doing well. I had a counselor once tell me that an affair doesn't mean that the marriage is over. I think about my husband's infidelity often, but it's a fleeting thought now, not an all-consuming thought like it use to be. Caution is always necessary. I'm so glad things turned around for you and hope for your continued success. I hope that others can go back to our posts and see what desparate situations we were in two or three years ago. I think they will appreciate so much more where we are today and realize that things can get better. It seems like at first it was only me that wanted it back. It took my husband a while longer to realize that, and those were the really tough times. but it can happen...look at you, GG, Patience, JennyB and me. We're all proof and we all continue to DB. Good luck. Karen --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
