Ok...well, my WH has sent me a few emails but now he's trying to be all nice. He's even saying thank you. WTF?????? He goes from one extreme to the other. It's driving me nuts!!!!

He left today to go with his family out of town for his brohter's 2nd wedding. His first wife cheated on him. Hmmm....sound familiar?
Well, I was just thinking....how is he going to feel standing there next to his brohter hearing him saying his vows to honor and cherish his new bride? I hope it makes him feel like crap knowing that he didn't live up to that himself.

I just don't understand how people do these things to each other. I could never hurt someone so badly and not feel guilt about it.

I had to read I Corinthians 13 in our friends wedding jsu after D-day of the last A... I started crying halfway through and there wasn't a dry eye in the house!! You know "Love is atient, love is kind..." <sigh>

Still makes me sad, but I am having an episode anyway... although, popping in here has helped, I don't feel as pukey... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Maybe your WH feels guilty?

Thanks.

It will.

I believe in 'cosmic justice', just, having it in different shapes/forms, we don't always recognize it...

My mom says that I had dumped so many good men and this one was my punishment for that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Momma's sad.....
I'm hoping that being around all of the happy wedding stuff will make him feel bad. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

"My mom says that I had dumped so many good men and this one was my punishment for that. "

I believe everything happens for a reason. I think there is a good man out there for me ....I just haven't met him yet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
I hope my WH suffers in his own misery after doing what he did to me and our son.

TR,

Be glad and quiet about his nicer e-mails. No jumping up and down....yet. He has a long way to go t/b considered good, ya know. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

For now enjoy the break in the storm. Maybe the wedding will make him reflect.

He will probably resort to his WS self in a while. But this brief episode of nice e-mails will have left it's mark. He is capable of being nice and you are capable of recognizing it.

That in itself is a sock through the fog. MOre than you may realize but less that it s/b.

So sit back and see how long this lasts. Don't kick the gift horse in the mouth, but don't hug him either. LOL!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

You are all right...he will get what he deserves! I hope hearing his brother say his vows made him extremely uncomfortable. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
