Who would have thought four months ago, when my husband told me he didn't love me anymore that life could be good again once more.
Every moment spent with my xwh, is sweet beyond belief, every moment treasured and locked tightly in my heart. The ugly thoughts of the affair still occasionally flick across my mind a couple times a day, but they are getting shorter, and not as often. I only cry a dozen times a week instead of the marathon crying sessions I had when I first found out. The good times are now exceeding the sad times. The rollercoaster is slowing down, and I am definately enjoying the ride. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


In the end, I have nothing to lose but everything to gain, by trying to save my marriage.

Thank you Kim for your kind words.
I have been reading up on your situation, and I am so glad you are able to stay strong. Let's hope your w/h finally wakes up and smells the stench of his affair with the o/w and decides to clean himself up and be a husband again.

MeOnlyBetter,
Where have you been??? I was just thinking about you and wondering what is happening in your life now.

Sisters always, in life's experiences.

KD-- I feel as if my H and I have begun to make some headway in regaining our M. We are having more heart-to-heart talks, and I feel like he finally understands how I have been feeling for the past 2 years. I know we have a long way to go. I haven't been posting as much lately because I want to concentrate my efforts on restoring our M. However I do check in from time to time to see how you are doing. Feel free to write me at my e-mail address that I have included in my bio at the end.

I love the stories that give my marriage hope, and I am so glad I was able to shine a little ray of hope to all of you.

May god hear our prayers for our marriages.

MeOnlyBetter,
I am so happy to hear from you. That is great that you and your husband are finally starting to talk and "listen" and reach an understanding.
See, we are sister's in another life. We are both progressing together. Woo hoo! When you get the time, drop me a line. I always look forward to hearing from you.

As always, sisters in life's experiences. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
