"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.." Theodore Roosevelt
Widowed 11/10/12 after 35 years of marriage ********************* “In a sense now, I am homeless. For the home, the place of refuge, solitude, love-where my husband lived-no longer exists.” Joyce Carolyn Oates, A Widow's Story
Holy Smokes. That made my day, C. Now, I will be devoting the rest of my day to googling "The Ministry of Silly Walks", "The Bishop" and "Rat Tarts" and "Biggus Dickus".
Thank you, Imagine. I've thought for years that Neak is a hero, too, but it seemed vaguely inappropriate to have your name tossed out by your mother...so I refrained, with some difficulty. As for me, I appreciate the kind thought, but I more think of myself as someone who was too stupid or too stubborn, or both, to quit when it made sense to do so. I'm not sure how much credit an old gal should get for THAT!!
P.S. Anybody who struggles to survive infidelity, especially the people here who doggedly work the steps of the Plans, steps that are generally counterintuitive and can therefore be massively difficult to maintain, are heroes in my book.
Hero mocking will not be tolerated. Mods will be notified. Expect the worst.
notify this!

I am armed to the TEETH, Zelmo! I could bust a cap on her with my eyes closed.

Well done m8, it takes strength to fight for your marriage and family. It takes courage to expose the A, but it is empowering once you have completed exposure, knowing you brought truth and reality to light.

"There are moments in life that make us & set the course of who we become. Sometimes they're little & subtle,sometimes they're big & we never saw them coming. No one asks for their life to change, but it does. It's what we do afterwards that counts & we find out who we are."
As for me, I appreciate the kind thought, but I more think of myself as someone who was too stupid or too stubborn, or both, to quit when it made sense to do so. I'm not sure how much credit an old gal should get for THAT!!
