It's been just over a year since we ended the A and boy what a different a year makes.

Last year I would have told you that he was my soulmate. This year, he's just some guy I spent time with.

Last year I would have told you that "i'll never know love like that again". This year I pray i'll never know love like that again.

It all seems so strange and distant. It's been a huge year. He and his W are back together. I pray that they are well or atleast functional. I am in a sane, healthy, monogomous relationship. No drama, no emotional roller coaster, no OW degration that becomes so common place.

I won't lie, there is a part of me that loved being TOW. It was probably as much of a relationship as I could handle. The insanity was rampant, familiar and comfortable.

Partnership is hard and sane and stable. My boyfriend and I live as a quiet little blended family. We're shopping for a house big enough to accomodate all of us and i'm pondering staying home with the kids.

You MB's have been wonderful compassionate teachers and for that I thank you.

God Bless

Katie,
Thanks for posting this.

It's easy to forget that the OW goes through the same kind of adrenaline/drama rush that the BS & WS do.

I wish you well in your sane, stable, quiet, little family <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> .
