HB, You CAN do it.. I have gone through all of the emotions you're feeling right now. I told H to leave.. I told him I wanted a D.. He wouldn't do either. So, I guess I just decided that I will not be the one to pull the trigger and this is the best I can do to try to get my H back. It helps to take the advice of the people here...know what things have worked for others. I already feel like a have more sex appeal.. Truly empowering!
I know it hurts like crazy to hear about the OW. I am trying to let it roll off now. It's taken more than a month of knowing to even think I can let it roll off. But, you have to remember that they are like crazy addicted people right now. The things they say they are feeling are like people on crack! You are right .. YOU will get stronger. I'm not sure it's the best idea for you to date right now, though. You are very vulnerable and could get yourself much deeper into something than you really want to. Then, where are you at when your H realizes what an idiot he has been and does want YOU?
No matter what, you are going to be ok.. Listen to Theoden.. You are a strong, beautiful woman with her heart in the right place.
