I guess some good does come out of the bad. I try to find positives. I have found positives. Through all of this my youngest daughter has opened up to me more. She now says she loves me back when I tell her I love her. You know how teens are sometimes they are too embarassed to show affection or emotion. My oldest daughter has always been an affectionate person, but now is even more affectionate. I have lost a lot of weight, although it's not a diet that we DB's would recommend to anyone, too painful.
Theoden, I am trying to outlast the secretary. See my way of thinking is that he has not filed for divorce, so he can not be that committed to her. She filed for divorce 3 days after H left me! (but, remember my H wasn't seeing her at the time, according to him, yeah right!)Her husband was totally blindsided also! During all of this time my H has spent the night with me several times. I know he isn't fully committed to me either, but I'm hoping our history and family will open his eyes. I guess you can say he is having his cake and eating it too. I was pursuing, but it seemed to be sending me down cheeseless tunnels, so I'm detaching.
