For Kimmy,

Kimmy ....

Lostva asked herself the following three questions daily throughout her ordeal:

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Lostva stated:
First decision. Do I love my husband? Yup, more than life itself - not the things he's doing now, but the man he truly is inside.

Second. Do I want my marriage back? Nope - but I want a better one.

Third - Am I ready to work for it? Absolutely!! I asked myself these three questions every single day. Every morning, before I got out of bed, I asked myself these questions. Same answer.
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Kimmy, please go to the first thread on this post and click and read Lostva's success story.

Boy, did I need this today! It perfectly describes what I and I know others are going through. It could have been me writing this, I just hope my ending is as happy....I believe..

Hey, Jo, how're you doing? I got an email that this was posted again and that you were still around, so I stopped in to say "hi"!

Robert and I are still doing well....learning and growing every day. And I thought in 1999 that I'd had enough of that danged personal growth to last a lifetime! Our baby girl is now a freshman in college - now THAT'S an adjustment for me! LOL

Well, just popped in to say hello. One day, in the next year or so, I'll post a big ole update, I guess. Lots happened after I left, but everything made us closer and stronger - eventually. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I'll check back to see if you see this.

Love ya!

Lori

What a great story. It's so important to post the success stories here. I know they help me as much as anything else on this board. Thanks to everyone for bumping this until I took the time to read it!

Everyone should read the notable posts...more than once.

When I began lurking 1.5 years ago I read Lostva's story and have clung to it for inspiration. She is my Plan A hero! THANK YOU!

And [H]'s postings helped me to understand my H and what he was going through. THANK YOU!

I am still hanging in there and H seems to be coming around! Thank you to everyone for your continued support and thought provoking threads!

Lostva,
One quick question.

When you were writing all those letters, did you ever write about the future with out him and what your plans were, as if you going on with your life?

Just a question. Thanks! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
