So? What's for dinner?

Let's focus on something positive.

You know, for me, it's all about the FOOD!

So what's for dinner? Something easy and quick (like at my house)?

What are you and your h going to do after dinner?

Not sure what's for dinner.....

Ok, now some humor - would love to say, when H asks that, "ME!"....but I don't think that is going to happen!

Maybe dessert? Hmmm, I would love it but understand he can't right now.

Chicken, some sort of veggie, maybe a nice salad. Boring~

Bake the chicken and in the last 15 min or so, slap some bbq sauce on it.

Wa-la! Not boring chicken!

The Wookie loves bbq baked chicken.

As for your H - remember: Kindness counts. Kindness without expectation of reciprocation counts double.

After dinner, he needs to cut the lawn tonight (his idea). I'll play with the girls, probably give them baths.

Then we'll probably talk, and talk, and talk.

I want him to post. He's a VERY private person, but I know it will help me as it has helped me beyond what I could have imagained!

I'd give my left big toe for the Wookie to post....but I doubt he ever will.

Just be kind, S&C67. Emotions are a lot harder for men to deal with sometimes....no matter how they come about.

What is this Va-ca thing you speak of?

Yeah. I got that part...it's the staying home and no working part that would cause me to go into a coma. I wouldn't know how to act.

Recovering.

Before I fess it up. Sit down. Most people find my sitch shocking to say the least.

I'm a BW - the Wookie is my fwh, currently dh (or dw - dear wookie). He had a 3 year A that produced 2 OC. We are in the process of suing for custody of my OC....who live with us 5 days out of 7...they are 3 and 2 (next week).

Have you fainted yet?

I wouldn't have been able to keep breathing (or allow the Wookie to keep breathing) if it weren't for MB.

No, I haven't fainted!!! You are awesome and just like me, we'll get through this.

Let's stick together friend, my shoulders and ears are here for you.

I look forward to talking to you later tonight or tomorrow.

Have a great evening.

I'll say a prayer for you!

Thanks.

Next tuesday (on OC#2's b-day) we have another court date.

We have the alien mother of all OW, btw. Only she's not a real mom....just has kids to get $$. Very difficult.

I only check in from work. I'm on a 'puter all day...I barely even glance at one at night.

See you tomorrow.

S&C - You sound much better now...I have been away from the computer. My H is private about things too, and will not post on here at all. I tried to get him to, but he really doesn't like forums. Everyone has their own way to deal with it and your H may not want to post and that's OK. As long as you are still talking with your H and working through this. I NEEDED this site so very much a year ago. I needed to talk with others that were experiencing what I was going through. Such a blessing!


Are you going to go to MC?

Have a good night and dinner! I'll keep you and your H in prayer.

Does the OM's wife know about your OS affair with her husband?

If not, confusedandsad67, she NEEDS and DESERVES to know.

Ms. Wondering - What a way to start my day! You are awesome. Thank you for your words, they encourage me to do the right thing and stay on the right path.

H and I had a great night, which I wasn't expecting. He let me hug him a couple of time and I told him more than once how much I love him and how sorry I am. He continues to ask those oh so hard questions, but I know that is all part of recovery. When I start to get mad/sad, I try to stop myself and say to myself, "you created this mess - only YOU can fix it".

No one said this was going to be easy, but I must admit with all of you here at MB, I would NOT be at the place I am at today.

My eyes are wide open and I like the possible future that I see!

God Bless You!

MRS. W - YES, Kimmy & WAT have been wonderful. You are all my friends and I could not have gotten to where I am without all of you. You are wonderful - a true gift from God above!

Grace37 - Neither my H or I have told XOM about this. They lost their only child and I don't feel it is my place to take her entire world away from her. It's the XOM's place. My H says he has moments where he wants to call her and I am leaving that in his shoes.

I truly believe it is up to XOM to do it but I know he won't.

Anyway - I am RECOVERING and to me that means no more talk about the XOM.....

Thanks and hope you have a great day! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
