Great post TL! As usual lots of wisdom. I know eventually this whole thing will fade into the past and what's happening now and in the future will have much more meaning. I do think my husband has learned a lot from this experience. He's also listening to a couple of co-workers (who cheated and divorced), and who are in the midst of relationships that are starting to sour pretty dramatically. I just don't think most people understand the impact on kids and how those kids can impact these relationships. What a nightmare!!!!
Anyway, I've been doing really well this week. I've really let OW go and haven't felt obsessive in any way or that I want to make her life miserable. That's good!!!! I just feel really healthy and good about me. I'm here for my family, open to my friendship and marriage with my husband. We're getting back to our old selves, but in a new way. Even though we're both the same, we have both changed so much. It's weird!
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
