Hi everyone in Marriage Builder land. It's sure been a long time since I was here. I recognize almost none of the names and I wonder how many "oldies" are still around.

Well, to update, my marriage was one of them that didn't survive. I gave it my best shot but hubby was so far into his denial and lies that I don't think he'll ever get out. Although his A ended it wasn't enough. I had lost all trust and he wasn't willing to do anything to make me feel safe again.

I'm happy now. Alone isn't such a bad thing when the alternative is an unhappy marriage and life. My kids and I are getting along fine and they still see their dad. People still wonder what went wrong with out "perfect marriage" but unless they're close friends, they can keep wondering lol.

I wish you all here luck and strength. Peace

~TD~

Hey TinyDancer:

Glad that you've moved on and found peace. Your story mirrors mine almost exactly. XWW is in a downward spiral yet thinks that she has everything under control. I actually feel sad for her - she is losing out on so much. (Respect from friends, family, children, etc.) Good Luck

TD,

Good to hear from U!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Glad to hear you are doing much better. Seems the WS didn't get the better end of it after all the misery they created, eh? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Personal recovery is always achieveable to each of us. We have to recognize it even in the most dire of situations.

Please keep posting. There are sooo many new ones here who need to know how people like yourself, Fishracer and others are surviving and thriving with your new and lives.

Much aloha,
L.
