Hi Pio, how are things with you?
I've been on a long MB sabbatical. Just peeked in today to see how things were going with everyone.

Hi Pio - sorry to hear of the "downs" in your update. Five years for us now (almost) post d-day and I actually have started to feel normal again! Let me know if I can help you - you have my email address below in my sig.. Five years ago, almost to the day, gemela was off on vacation with the DDs when I learned of the A and she finally confessed it over the phone. I remember it was so surreal. Last week gemela took the DDs off on vacation a month before I am to join them. We haven't done that since Dday. If you were paying attention, what I said was: Now we are just at Dday plus 5 years and suddenly I think I feel like Lieutenant Dan when he was looking at the sunset and decided to jump off the Jenny and go for a swim. And that's all I have to say about that. Obviously you've never seen Forrest Gump. I'm glad to hear you're doing well. Yet another update. Yesterday for the first time I am now able to go up and DOWN stairs like a normal person. Look Ma! No Hands!

No need to be sorry. You know I believe everything happens for a reason. The way I see it, if I hadn't been laid up for months and hadn't missed so much work, I never would have gotten to see Ice Road Truckers. Can you imagine how much poorer my life would have been?

I am 6 plus years out and feel NORMAL. It is a blessing to feel NORMAL once again. I know how you feel. I hope your knee gets better soon. I actually trust my wife. ![laugh laugh](/ubbt/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif) CIAO!

Interesting you should say that because, as I implied, this is kind of a deja vu experience for me and yet it never crosses my mind that gemela is up to no good.
As far as the knee goes, I have been in a wheel chair and later on crutches for months with no hope in sight and not much improvement. Just in the past 10 days my progress is almost exponential. I think if I could straighten my leg out, I would be normal (stuck at 15 deg extension since forever). I haven't had a pain pill all day and even the CRPS is hardly noticeable and that had me more worried than the knee itself. It is really strange.

Yeah, I guess it's been 5 years post D-day for me, too. Sadly, not much to report. No new affairs, but no real progress. I can live vicariously through you guys! ![smile smile](/ubbt/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)

I'm sorry to hear that. I don't really have a good explanation for how we got here. We do spend way more than 15 hours a week together (unless she is scrapbooking and then I run as far and as fast as I can). Without really knowing much about MB, I will say she has taken extreme measures every single day to keep me in a good place. It has been a very difficult 5 years and I know I'll never do it again. If there is another A, I'm done immediately. Maybe that is the sad part because I know that I love her but could also cut loose in a heartbeat. I'm just amazed at the serenity that seems to surround me. No idea where it came from. I don't ever worry about her haing an A now. It's not that I know she won't - it's that I know that there is nothing I could do to prevent it. Peoples' choices are their own. All I can do is worry about my own choices and the consequences they might have. All the pieces of my life just seem to fit. The DDs are great although DD2 is a lazy slob and we are working on that. She can't go through life the way she is. Either she needs to change or she needs to marry well. DD1 has her first boyfriend (she's 11 now). That reminds me - anybody know where I can buy a shotgun?

FWIW - I think a cucumber slicing demonstration would be more effective. (and cheaper)

My DD13 likes boys but has no chance of ever getting a boyfriend. Yes, dad would kill the boy, but no boy will ever ask her out. She's just too darned intimidating. Very sarcastic, super-intelligent, pretty, tall, skinny, and most boys seem to prefer the bimbo-type girls who pose little challenge. Come to think of it,.... I think that's what my FWH found so attractive about his then-19-year-old OW. (other girl-OG) Good luck with the tween Pio.

It's been....how many years? Can't even remember any more. Just to let everyone know all is bliss. Gemela and I are still together and things are going really well. Girls are doing great. Older one is in the USA with Gemela visiting boarding schools and missing first week of school here. DDs will soon be 12 and 14. I just wanted to thank everyone who helped get us through all this. I'll check back in another few years and give another update. Ma' salama
