Newbies and strugglers ....KiwiJ is an FWW who had a deeply entangled near-exit affair 2 years ago. Her BH was smashed by it.

She and her BH worked very hard at MB and have arrived at a wonderful new marriage.

The fact of the affair will always remain in their past, as it will all of ours, but at some point it just becomes another bad thing that happened in the past, like a death in the family or a bankruptcy. Like it is for J & R here.

Their sit was awful. Yet here they are in love celebrating their 31st anniversary.

Take heart newbies and strugglers.

** Happy anniversary my friends ! {{{{J & R }}}} **

Good for you - but I think you should have put "31 years married tomorrow" because it's yesterday for many of us still.

Isn't it?

Oh well, I have joked enough at your expense.

Good Job.

Tee hee, SS, yes it is tomorrow for you.

Don't start on that time thing, you'll have that mad Texan asking me to give her the lottery results again. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

This year is so different from last year when we had our 30th. I spent half the day in tears of guilt over how I'd completely destroyed what could have been 30 years of unsullied, innocent marriage.

This year, it's just our anniversary (which is a good thing BTW.)

Jen,

I can say that it is with deepest happiness that I congratulate you and your husband on 31 years of marriage and wish you at least another 31 years of happiness and companionship with one another.

God Bless,

JL

Well then, good for you.

I am glad this one feels better. What a blessing.

Almost enough to make me sing too, but I don't want to ruin what Faithful did. She is pretty good at it, I am just so, so.

I love you and your man. You are harbingers of hope....even if you don't know it.

You are blessings and blessed. The one doesn't go without the other, you know.


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

Kiwi, you give us all hope. In March it was our 20th and I had no desire to celebrate. Ended up sobbing that night. Hope our 21st is like your 31st. CV

Kiwi, bless ya, congratulations.

That offer to usher me to NZ still stand? I might still need to sell something valuable and get outta Dodge one of these days.

Thanks GC. Of course the offer still stands. BTW I said to you before my uni was in the top 20 round the world. That was a bit optimistic but it's getting there. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

After lunch today I'm delivering a PhD student's 500+ page dissertation to the bindery.

Four years of EXTREMELY hard work. How do you guys do it?????
