Thank you Carol and Pep, now I'm blushing and weepy all at the same time.

When I think back it all just seems like a nightmare that happened to other people. Rob accusing me of calling OM on my cellphone and ringing me at work, then him ringing the number and finding it was my voicemail, me leaving my job because OM was a client and there was a distinct possibility he'd turn up, Rob ringing his wife to make sure NO ONE ever contacted anyone again and now look at us <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Roll on, 2005 - you're going to be a great year!!!

Myrta, thank you. I still laugh at your first ever response to me but I didn't laugh at the time. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

ISBTH, Thanks. BTW I worked out who you were in about 2 seconds so I hope your STBX doesn't really lurk.

I know LM and a few others don't hold with the MB principles and I sometimes wonder if it had been Rob had found his way here and not me and done it all on his own, whether it would have worked so well but he knew how to Plan A instinctively and we now both go out of our way to make each other feel loved and secure.

Good for you Jen ... Again and Again.

It is so great to see how many FWS are on here at MB and the strength they committed to thier families. I guess I'll just live vicariously through them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Kampm, well I've been married a lot longer than you have and have adult children. Should have made me smarter, huh?

You can and you will do this. To prove to your H that you can be trustworthy, you have to be trustworthy, simple as that.

12 months of NC (which is only 12 months into a lifetime of NC) did not come easy but IT WAS WORTH IT.
