Just a thought... has it occured to anyone else that in our throw away society M has become one of those things that you just throw out when it's broken to be replaced by a new one?

It is amazing to me that I am actually made to feel like I am doing something wrong for trying to save my M.

My situation is a little more dramatic than most but I can honestly say that of all the people that know about WW A only two have said that I shold try to save the M. Everyone else thinks I'm an idiot! I've had everyone from the cops to her parents tell me that maybe it was best just to just give up. I've actually had people say I know you have kids and all but WHY would you even want to try. I always think of a saying on one of my Harley shirts when I hear that... If I have to explain you wouldn't understand!

We've now been on the TRUE road to recovery for about a month now and I'm glad that as my W puts it, I'm the most persistent human being alive.

Well anyway just something that has been bothering me... Always remember that IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Mrs. E took to calling me a saint to other people. I finally got so uncomfortable with that that I told her I had never been a saint and probably never would be but she had also called me her Knight so we're going with that for now.

Man ain't LOVE GREAT!!!!

Always remember that IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. E

Like your wife, I too am blessed with a husband who shows me with his actions how much I mean to him.... and this came ~after~ his 18 month affair with his friends's wife.

Miracles DO happen.....

Marriages DO survive.....

We ARE ALIVE !!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

And it IS a GREAT DAY to be alive!!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Tell your wife she is a miracle in YOUR life!!!
