Quote: I am not going to go back and re-read your thread(s)....
LOL, neither would I. I am one long-winded guy.
Quote: ...but I don't think you have ever really posted much to be ashamed of or that would set you back months if your W read it.
I am so sneaky I didn't even realize I was doing something self-serving. But in light of my two Jiminy Cricket friends telling me it is so, it must be so.
Quote: I think you come off as a pretty nice guy, who surely loves his W but that made a terrible mistake, one he recognizes and is working to repair the damage it caused.
I take your comments as high praise, Sir Grasshopper. Thank you. I am certainly working to make the % of time I spend in the "nice guy" mode much higher. Throwing bombs in your own life is dangerous and extremely hurtful business. I don't recommend it.
Quote: I don't think anyone should really recommend that their spouse read the things they post here, but now that you did in a way, I don't think it would be as bad as some of the threads here.
Uhhh, thanks, I think.
Quote: Who knows, maybe since she IS the LBS in this case, she could even get help.
Anyone who WANTS help here will certainly find it. The problem for a lot of people, I am sure, is KNOWING you need help and WANTING that help. I came here on a quest, as have others I have had the privilege of "talking" with.
Quote: Amy, I do agree with you that in that respect, it WAS self-serving because in a way HH, you were not only trying to prove that you're really trying, but you were also trying to get her to get help here, consciously or unconsciously.
I promise, it was subconsciously. I certainly am not that good at planting seeds, although my W may disagree.
Quote: I can't say I blame you on either count. You thought you were doing the right thing.
I did. I did.
Quote: I hope it works out for you, and HH's W, if you are reading this, I think you have a good man here, who if given the second chance at marital life, would be a rock in your life, one that truly understands the gift of marriage and how to keep giving that gift for eternity.
I would and I do. I doubt she will seek out this thread. If you do, honey, "Hi."
