FIM -

I love your MIL. I have 2 boys, and have prayed for their wives since the day they were born. By the way, they are not married yet. But I really hope that I can be a tenth as good as your MIL.

This is crackin me up! I hope you get your pictures, FiM.

Dear LemonMan,

FiM is simply trying to confirm her suspicions of the affair continuing. It's important to know that as a BS. Having been one myself, I can confirm that valid need.

I also am a firm believer that when you're handed lemons, you make lemonaid. You agree?

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> My MIL has told me she began praying for all of her children's future spouses when they were born too. She's advised me to the same, and I do!

Well,I am up waiting for the DH to arrive in SAT. I thought about him parking the camper someplace else as well...but at this particular apt complex there were tons of boats, jet skis, trailors, you name parked in the lots. I could see the OW's door and was sooooo tempted to get out and knock on it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> But, since I had two little ones with me I refrained.

What FIM is trying to accomplish is catching him in yet another lie. She is trying to get PROOF that he was with OW while he was supposedly "finding himself". If i can get a picture of his truck parked at her apt, then that is her proof. Anyway, off to bed again. NIGHT

m23b - Thanks again!

I have to tell you that when mom was at the complex looking at her door, I was on the phone with her and wished I could just CRAWL through the phone and be there.

Ugh!

Lemonman,

I missed your post. Sorry. And don't worry, I'm not offended at the question. It's one I stopped and asked myself.

It's not about healing. It's about confirmation. Do I think he's there. Oh, yeah. Do I have a million reasons to believe it? Yep.

He's telling me another story. Now, I don't believe him and have no reason to.

That little part of me that would hold out hope for the truth though would wonder if I should have trusted him. It just would, even though it's stupid. That's me.

So, this is my way to shut that down.

Plus....it's kind of fun <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

FIM:

I hope that you nail him good and that *maybe* this will let you see him for the man that he is. I must say that you are a very very strong woman. You have suffered such a great deal at the hands of this man and you still obviously care and love him. I hope that you find the information that you need to make decisions for you and your kids. Good luck.

It's driving me crazy too. It's a puzzle that must be solved!

Snowbelle - I think you solved it! Thank you. I'm going to go with that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Lemonman - Thank you. I'm hoping it will help too.

Lady Clueless,

I like that one. But, considering I haven't heard from him since then, probably not. I'll save it though and tell him that was my interpretation of it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

FIM, you sound way strong. Sometimes I wonder if you're not "fronting" a little. You're a tough one, aintchya?

Anyway, good work, sister.

I try to be a bit tough, yet tender <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I might put on a happier face than I sometimes feel, (my IC thought so) but I've got kids to care for, a job to do and a WH to deal with. Humor and laughter are what get me through the days. Well, MB and my great friends certainly help too:)

Hi FIM... I've also been following your saga, and I must say, you sure are an amazing woman! Your daughters will benefit greatly having you as their role model. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I was thinking about the PHTUP. I think that Lady Clueless had some pretty good thoughts on it. But here's another... Could those letters actually be for the numbers on the keypad? Does 74887 mean anything to you? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

It was just a thought.

I think it means screwed up too. Who knows, maybe it was going to OW, but FREUD would say interesting if he sent it to Paula. That he knows he screwed up.

I want this to work out for you Faith, but just remember-you're one heck of a catch. I am sure you would find happiness, three kids and all if you deceide you don't want to be part of this. You are younger than I was when I got married.

You have a long life ahead, so don't worry. There can be happiness for you with or without him. By the way, I still think he is coming back.

I hope he doesn't screw up and get her pregnant. Be prepared for that one. I've read that one over and over again. I just mention this because I have read this in so many stories. I just want you to be prepared-just in case. She is young and foolish and may do something else very stupid like getting pregnant or threatening suicide. Yuck.

Dang Im having evil thoughts again.....If Mom was to find the truck and had been instructed by its owner to let down the tyres and use a little lipstick imaginatively on the windows....She would simply be following the owners instructions wouldnt she? Not vandalising....
