Filed in February. To those I remember, and who remember me: Believer: Glad to see your outcome; I know my STBX tried to send good advice your way. Susan: Know I luv ya! Pep: Ditto above! WAT: Hi, Guy, how are ya? Mimi: I'm so proud of whatyou have accomplshed in your marriage. I was there in the days when you struggled and was trying to keep you strong. BTW...I too am a tiara wearing SPQ and have the pics to prove it! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Now I do have a question...what happened to October Girl? I would love to know where she is now. Married '85 Me: BS D-Day 7/02 Plan B 5/03, 7/03 Numerous False Recoveries I filed 2/06 Divorce Final 4/30/07

I thought so as well, but it seemed the "easier" solution to stay with OW than to try to do the needed and necessary work on our relationship. You're very strong. I love the Harley story.

As with Believer, it is his loss, but YOU will be just fine ~ BETTER than fine. Hugs and God bless. Susan <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <---imagine the rhinestones!

Some postings I used to learn and others to become inspired....and then some to stay strong. I used yours for all of those things. Although your M did not make it, please know that you helped me and probably many others by sharing what you went through. I wish you peace and happiness in the next chapter of your life. We are all better people for having found MB and touching one anothers life. God bless, ISGirl. ss Last edited by SureSurvivor; 05/23/06 11:05 PM.
