I know a few of the old vets have seen me snooping around here lately. I think it has maybe been 4 years or so since I was last on here. A lot has happened in that time!!

Besides me getting older. grin

I see a few of the vets on here...still fighting the good fight. I also see that nothing has changed when it comes to adultery, BSs and WSs. Same stuff, different names.

Anyway, looking to be back on here more. And checking up on everyone!

Howdy, friend!! Good to see you. I saw you lurking the other night and was hoping you would post. How is life treating you?

Thank you. And I will look in on your situation as I catch up here.

And one thing you must remember...no matter what happens with your marriage, if you do it right...you will be a success. Even if the wayward isnt!

How are you? Good to see you in the fight still!!

It has been an interesting journey. In ome ways, I continue to fight some of the same demons. In others, I am light years from where things were.

All in all...I am glad I am where I am at.

How about you?

And things have been awesome on the board the past couple of years. The troublemakers are gone, Dr Harley is back doing his radio show and he has written several new articles that have been really helpful. Remember how exposure was a fuzzy area? Harley wrote a great article on it and even revised HNHN to include it. He even posts sometimes on the board so I can tell he does read here. He has taken a much more active role so more folks are getting good help.

That sounds very good! I need to check out the articles!! Exposure is always a good thing....I love that part of the process.

He is huge! Probably going to be bigger than his oldest brother (who is 19 years old and currently 6'4" and 215lbs).

I thought we were done with son #2. He is entering high school this fall. We were into the home stretch. But then the youngest popped up. So, we'll be at this a while longer.

But, of course...we are glad he is here!

Hi MM,

I've heard a lot about you and I'm hoping to have the same success story as you some day. Some people have told me my situation is similar to what you went through. I'm a Marine and a ton of things are going on at the same time, but you've given me hope even though we don't know each other.

Hey, its weird that we just posted to each other's posts at the same time!

Yes, from what I have read, you are very close to what I have been through. Kinda deja vu for me!

I'll keep up with your thread to see where you are at and headed.

Hi MM .. Your posts were very well written. Infact my wife and I read your posts in your sig together(once i got my wife on board with MB that is). They sure make a TON of sense and from the looks of it have made a great impact on several posters here including myself. Its great to be able to thank you in person myself for your efforts here and your success story.

God Bless

Well, thanks! As has been said here, we all wish we didnt have to come here. But I have met some great people here, who have been there for me in the worst time of my life. So, as we all should do, I have needed to eturn the favor!

And please remember this...no matter if my marriage had been saved or not, I was still a success! And you can be too.

I will tell you, recovery has been a tough road. Obviously, there have been some highlights (like the birth of our youngest). And there have been some low lights also. And there is still much to do.

But this place made me better equipped to deal with these issues and to try to get the mrriage I want and deserve.

And for that, I am eternally grateful.
