You still haven't told me to butt out. You know me, and after we caught up on the weekend, I am worried. Especially if you are trying to put a brave face on for me.

Passing by here... I am still worried for you K. Tell me to butt out and I will. Meanwhile... I care (and will even if you tell me to butt out of here!).

Please download whatever is necessary to listen to Dr H. If you need help, ask DH who is more IT savvy. These Dr H radio posts linked by BrainHurts have helped me a lot. I need to listen to more of them.

If you don't ask DH... why? Your recovery should be steered by him. Anything that will help you, should help him, therefore help you with building an US.

No. They don't go away. There will never be an amnesia moment, where you have nothing to remind you of the affair. If a lobotomy was available for BH's, we'd all be lining up right after D-Day.

But there will come a time when you remember, and it no longer has any power over you. THAT'S the day you're looking for. When that happens varies. It took me about two years. If you are rcovering, those moments of remembering will rapidly drop away because you will have so many new memories that will take precedence.

And - I swear this is true: smile the time is going to come, when you don't think about the A the second you wake up in the morning. The day will come when you realize that it's lunchtime, and you haven't thought once about the affair. I used to think that would be impossible, but it's true. Because the affair will cease to have much power as you recover. Affairs are like that - not much staying power.

Now, if I conjure up images from that horrible time, I just roll my eyeballs. smile
