Thanks guys,

Husband wanted me to tell y'all that he appreciates all the prayers, too, cause we need them. He has, apparently, been reading here, and remembers the Poopsie Waffle Chunks MB name, as he signed his email PWC.

His OW is no longer working with him, and he is doing the NC. He knows that this will be hard, but we both agree...we both want this. Our Marriage, our home, our son our lives. He's reading, I'm posting....

I'm so incredibly happy for you, SL. You deserve it.

Hang in there, J. You can do this. It's probably the most important thing you will ever do.

I am not particularly religious

That's good. Neither am I... nothing religious about me. I just have a personal relationship with God and He has been faithful. What I say to you SL is that perhaps God is speaking to you right now and showing you that He has listened to the cries of your deepest heart. I also say why not ask Him to reveal himself to you? Betcha He will. Just a thought. I think you have a higher purpose than you know. You've been an inspiration to many here... imagine the possibilities.

princessmeggy,

I am about to embark on one of the hardest things anyone can do, aside from survive death and the death of something, someone. I hope that whoever, whatever, is around is pulling for me.

Pray, sing, chant, dance, smile, look up at the sky filled with stars, clouds, play that funky music white boy.... I don't care what you do, positive energy is all good.

Look, if I was about to divorce, I would want the same energy, no negativity. I don't know what tomorrow brings my way, but I will need the energy to face it. I am going to go lay down now and squeeze out a few tears, as I am exhausted and afraid, so I need to cry a little to release that. Prepare for tomorrow and the next day...

Great News!

PWC: Stay on course. It's the only way. Get a new cell phone number. Call SL when you feel like calling OW. It works. Believe me.

LG,

UPS delivered right on time for me.

As for PWC, well, OW no longer works with him. I can tell that there is that gravity between them right now, but I can SEE my husband. I just told him that this pain was temporary, but that we are going to be really happy again.

I was definitely enthused to hear that OW did not work with H anymore. That will make this transition a bit (tiny bit) easier for him.

WOW... great news.... I am very happy for you.... and for the recovery of your spouse. I agree that taking this a bit cautiously is best for your son right now....but it appears as though your prayers have been answered.

OMG!!

I'm doing the MAJOR happy dance right now for you and your H!


You really ARE SO READY for this! I love your positive outlook, yet edged with the appropriate amount of caution. You know the MB principals work and with you BOTH on board with it, you will have success.

Yes, it will be a difficult path to walk. However, your realistic approach will help you tread thru the difficult parts of the path.

Congratulations!! Good Luck and Praise God!!!

SL,

I am very proud of your courage and conviction. There were a million ways to screw this up and a million chances to quit. You never did.

You deserve this opportunity to build a whole new and better marriage. You worked so hard for it.

Congratulations!

I talked to my dad this morning, and boy was he surprised!

He said that he encouraged me to be happy, and if this is what would make me happy, then he supports us. I told him that my goal has always been to be happy, not just to save a marriage.

Chris, thanks for being my friend, and for making me laugh about sippy cup maintenance, every bit helps. I hope that we reciprocate and have helped you get through it.

Rin, I hope that your WH turns himself around, for those boys. All children need both parents, and deserve parents that put them first. They didn't ask for any of this; they are blindsided.

You, my lady, are so strong. You have turned your own life around, starting to recognize your demons and kick them to the curb. You are going to be one happy lady. Still waiting patiently to hear about your house; I've got my fingers crossed for you...

Well, BC, I'm glad I could provide an excuse, or perhaps more like a reeeeeason for your celebration/alcoholism. I'm such an enabler. I had me some Sangria and wine yesterday, along with my cheese burger, to celbrate Day TWO of early stages of recovery.

BTW, you could have always used Cinco De Mayo as your excuse...
