Yes I do mean it. You CAN make it. You are not the first person to be where you are. Take sturg's advice. He's been down your road. Look at him now. He's come a long way and is happy with his life and himself. I know it's hard. It won't be easy either way, whether she stays or she goes. Either one, you WILL make it. I know by talking w/u you are heartbroken, but you are a VERY strong person. You'll be amazed at how strong you are when you are "thrown" into a situation like this.

As I said, I am here for you every step of the way and so is everyone else on here. Just give us a post when you need us.

KJ,

I'm only good at giving advice, not following it <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. Just kidding. I am really hanging in there and trying <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. I read the post you wrote on my thread. Thanks for posting. That was awfully nice of KiwiJ to refer you to my thread <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. I will post back to it when I get more time.

Still hanging in there saenz??

Yes, that should have been a warning sign to you. I have a real problem with OW and OM. They disgust me....sorry!! I have no respect for them.

I updated my day on my thread. I hope your day has gotten better.

yeah i know i was in a state of mourning when we meet and that stuff didn't seem to matter but now in retrospect.

not to mention this morning i realized why we started to shop at publix instead of our regular place cause thats where the OM worked. now everytime i open the freezer i see a publix sticker and it pisses me off.

que bueno compa!!

when you look at that sticker....instead of getting pissed...look at it as a reminder of "game on" and keep your focus....

tough to do, but it just takes alittle self discipline....

dude, cheaters are a different breed....they can lie to everyone, but when they look at themselves in the mirror, they see the truth....

from reading your post about some of your W history....ill go back to my past posts bout self esteem....

think about it....your W has serious self esteem issues...unless she takes some seriuos work, NOTHING you do is going to change her...this A, is all hers...she owns it...

now.....STOP beating yourself up!!

dont call her....DO NOT manufacture a reason....

call a buddy, your mom, anything......

theres no point to it.....look at it as a mile stone in self discipline, you will overcome a urge, then as you do it more and more, it becomes easier....

another thing...i stopped answering my phone when my X would call....always let it go to VM....got to the point that even hearing her voice would tense me up...

it just takes time...

I can identify with that feeling.

Remember Saenz, that chances are you'll feel WORSE after speaking to her. Aliens have this super duper ego killing ray that sucks all human positive emotions out of us.

Heck...call Stugis....apparently he's a good lookin' guy!

LOL!

Really, tho...that's what WE'RE here for.

Buddy, you're doing very well where you are. Really. I know it smarts like the devil, but you're doing good. I was such a mess after ddays that I thought I'd quit breathing.

Now....about your plan.....how can we help you stick to your plan? Cos, dude! Lemme tell you a good plan is the ULTIMATE for protecting YOU against all this MM/WW stuff. A good plan is your direction thru this fog spewing WW junk.

No matter what happens between you and your wife, your plan is your saving grace. Period. I'm livin' proof.

You're a good man, S. Worthy. You can do this....and we're here to buttress you up (as opposed to buttering you up) when you need it.

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.

just sittin here....burnin a CD...listening to music....fillin out paperwork for a condo im buying in mexico and realizing...my life is pretty da*n fine!!!

sooo....the moral to my story is.....dont get discouraged....right now everything is blurry and nothing makes sense, but YOU will get to the point when you are strong enough to step back and see that your life is OK...

just keep two things in mind and keep your priorities in order....

1... save your M, and come through this better than you were

2... if you end your M, do everything to protect yourself financially and keep your kids a PRIORITY....

3... STOP worrying about W at this point....she a grown up and she is responsible for her own decisions!! whether the match yours or not...thats beyond your control..

ok...i know...that was three things....i said i was pretty...not smart!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
