WOW!!

I just realized this as my heart was beating while I was posting to Stella..

Thanks to all of you that have supported me and helped me get to this place. Folks on this forum have been with me during some of my darkest hours...

To those of you that are struggling with the EVILNESS and AWFULNESS of infidelity, I say DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE...

Stay in the fight...not just for your marriage..but FOR YOURSELF...

I pray for you the happiness that WE HAVE FOUND...

I still say ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF YOU BELIEVE...

At this time, 3 years ago, my situation seemed hopeless.

Right this minute, as I am typing, my H is talking to me on the phone and he has been calling me all day long. As he ends each conversation, he says I LOVE YOU...He is so excited about our plans for tomorrow...

I wish I had the words to express all the gratitude that I have for all of you here...

That's why I do my very best to GIVE BACK..

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! IT'S GOT TO KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER FOR ALL OF US...

I'm thankful to have broken up their night of fun..as my H left her in the hotel room after I showed up..

My lasting regrets..but God knows best..

I DIDN'T GET TO HER TO WHIP HER BUTT...I should have waited until she left..Instead I left after he did...

When she called me to say: "WHO ARE YOU THE F'ING FBI?" I should have responded back: "NO, I'M HIS WIFE..YOU ARE A HO.." Steve Harley said that told him a lot about her..I was so shocked at how rough she talked...

OH WELL..wanted to share this bit of history and regret with you...

They like to think they've done something...usually it's stupid. My xh's ow/w just longs soooo much for legitimacy. I have made it my perogative and promise TO DENY HER IT FOREVER!

Happy New Year, and congratulations to the winners!
(that would certainly include Mimi and mr. mimi).

FGG,

Why would anybody sell you a perfectly good Saab convertible? Ask yourself that. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Have you priced out any Swedish auto parts lately?

Some friends of mine have an '89 SAAB that they've kept in good order for all these years. The leather by Elmo is still great. But, they've had problems with electrical stuff all along the way. I'm just giving you a hard time. It sounds like a fun car. Are you getting ready to start dating? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Is it red?

(((((MIMI!))))

Hard to believe sometimes isn't it?

My 3-yr. d-day anniversary was 12-21!
I had a few moments that day but overall not bad. That day 3 years ago was such a dramatic and emotional one....I let XH know what was causing my quietness and he was great about it. He really helped me, by acknowledging it and then helping me to put it aside. I really don't want to waste any time on it!!

Christmas was wonderful, the first one in 2 years that he was here...and now we are looking forward to a great New Year!

XH came home in 05 and he said that for him 05 was a good year because of it, but that 06 was going to be even better because we will be together from the start....

Last year will always be a memorable one for me....the last dying days of the A and XH finally hitting bottom...and then the HEALING and RECOVERY!!

Mimi, you're right....don't ever give up!

Thanks for being there for me and for others!
