Well everyone, I did it again, broke Plan B and went to my WH's retirement (thanks LostBird). My WH called me last week and asked if I would come.
I debated, and then decided to go. We both work for the federal government at the same installation. I knew most of the people there, and they know that WH has an OW.
Anyway I'm glad I went. It was very bittersweet. He got some awards and there was a great dinner. Everyone in WH's family went, so I got to see them all again.
It is so strange how this site has changed me. I am no longer seeking revenge and angry. I still care about WH and do not want to hurt him. I think that is the wonderful part of Plan B.

pep -
The food was good, and WH's co-workers got me some flowers. And yes, I was very gracious. AND I feel good about the whole thing. I was nervous thinking about going, but it was worth it.
I held me head up, and knew I had nothing to be ashamed of. I supported my WH.
My plan is to stay in my half-way Plan B. Like starfish says, "When you come here, expect to change."

Believer even though it might have been a little stressful, looks like you held up like the strong person you are.

Believer,
I'd have done the same thing. It was an important event. You have many years with this man you love. You showed strength and caring, and I don't think you'll ever regret it.

I broke mine too... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> It must be breaking plan B week!!
Anyway i am glad for you. It is good to show WS that we are strong. Yesterday i fell into the "OW going to end it" trap. I think OW is getting desperate. Had to struggle a bit getting back into the wagon but here i am again.
I think this sort of half half plan B should be called plan C.

Believer, as long as you feel good about the situation is what matters. You know what's going on with me, and if I end up in Plan B, I won't have the opportunity to do what you did.
I think you did the right thing.

The great part of Plan B is that it changes you. You begin to focus on your life, get away from the pain and hopelessness. Then you start thinking and acting differently. It is really amazing.
