Remember awhile ago, someone posted a long topic to the OW about how she knows it will be different for her. <p>I ran a copy of that months ago....but, I can't find it now. Does anyone else remember it? Thanks Pat

That doesn't ring a bell with me.<p>A long topic to an OW, about how things would be different for the OW? <p>as in: "H was selfish in our marriage, but I'm SURE things will be different in YOUR relationship" or "I tried my best to keep H happy for these 22 years, and apparently I couldn't, so I'm SURE you will be able to"<p>is that what you mean?

That was like it...it was a long post and really brought up some good topics.<p>Gosh, I wish I could remember the post. I have been so disorganized this year--I know I copied it when I read it. I hope someone remembers it.

I'm sure not an oldtimer here, but I do like the challenge of finding an old post. I found this old post that kind of fits what you described. <p> For Hailey and OWs... from a WS<p>If it's not the one can you give a little more info. Anything at all that might be unique <sp?> to that post?<p>Let me know and I'll search again.<p>FL

It was me who posted that, Hon.<p>I'll go get it and post it for you.<p>MnM, I don't know how I could handle what you're being faced with. And I certainly do feel the rage when you illustrate how they show up blantantly pose as a couple in front of you and everyone ... like you, I'm not the kind of person to get hot and angry and show it, but just reading your words start my adrenaline pumping.<p>I'm so sorry for what you're being put thru. <p>Lv,
Jo

Thanks Jo,<p>I couldn't remember who posted it...it fits my situation to a Tee.<p>Now....how to get it to her. <p>This is tough. I was hoping I was doing better---but these baseball games are like opening my Pandora's box of emotions. I would like to hit them both with 2 by 4's.<p>I can't wait to be over even these feelings...I am so sick of this man still being able to affect my emotions. I know logically that they are not worth the effort--and they deserve each other. But it is still hard.<p>Thank you for finding that for me--it is so good. Pat
