Yep,
Cracker Barrel is 5 min up the road...it does have excellent country style dishes but is usually sooooooo cold in the dining area that you grow icles so I avoid it...not to mention the wait time is long. I'm not a big fan of eating out, especially with the kids since you never know when they are going to eat well. My children are pretty healthy eaters so when we do eat out it is generally somewhere with good salads since they prefer salad to burgers. My oldest DD1 wants to be a chef and watches every cooking show on cable. Her favorite of course was ******'s Kitchen!

I have to run...i am watching a neighbor child in addition to juggling soccer player so it's pick up /drop off time:)

I'm sure you will find something delectable...I happen to love chicken salad with apples and walnuts

I thank your little voice 2much....it is in fact getting a bit crowded in the shower area!

Todd...you're giving me too much credit...those were 2much's comments!

...you tell me...

...where have you been Nams?....not showering ALL this time I hope!

Todd...I guess there can't be many body parts left by now!

Todd...I thought you had lost your right to play with fire...

...I may regret asking.....but.....exactly with WHAT are you planning to cook your hamburger?

Nams....last week I was watching Oprah....a show about 'aging gracefully'.....blablabla.....and having and not having SF .... Dianah Carroll whose 71 suggested that it was like 'bicycle riding'.... you never forget how even if you don't ride for awhile..... and the doctor actually suggested that it would be a good idea, more or less, to keep the 'muscles' toned and that....if there's no one there to help you.....help yourself! ...it cracked me up! ...I guess the doctor hadn'd heard about the RABBIT!

Yeah...right!

See? Through the web, I cannot even keep up with everyone. Everyone looks and sounds alike.

????

I used my notebook. Simnply turned it over and placed the hamburger right over the "hot" area. Done is seven minutes. Of course, I now have grease on my computer, but the burger surely was good.

Alright.... here's the longer version!

Duh.... I still don't get it.

What happened here people?

Why is everybody dripping cold water from their clothes, Nam and Luna, why the wet hair? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Er, is there water for another cold shower? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Whew! I was afraid I'd been belting out the wrong word all these years and nobody bothered to correct me because they were all busy trying not to listen.

Hello again,

Just wanted to thank you for the link to the licorice. Everyone on this forum seems very helpful and pleasant.

Do you mind if I just pose a question ?

Bigkahuna I am really struggling with being able to forgive my H. He says he is sorry and is trying to do everything I ask to reassure me that he will never stray again. It was the last thing I ever expected in our marriage. I feel so betrayed.

You sound like you have a wonderful marriage again and seem to have happily survived the A. Can you and everyone else on this forum tell me how you managed to forgive such a betrayal of trust. Specially after so many years of fidelity. I am just not sure I can do it, it's not just the physical aspect but the emotional ties they had.

I have to leave for the evening but will check back in tomorrow to see if any of you have replied. Hope you don't mind me throwing this question into the mix.

Thanks, Beth

Well even though Infidelity is off topic for this thread..... (joking)

Beth - I think for me, I have seen true repentance in my wife for her affair - it was short term not long term but there was I guess a 12 month build up period before they took it up to the next level and acted on it.

It really was 6 months into recovery before I really knew my wife "got it" regarding the betrayal. I do think when the WS gets it, that they have a harder time than the BS had.

Being in love again with your spouse also helps. It's a combination I guess.

Forgiveness is often offered prematurely. To totally forgive takes time and it is easier when you know your spouse is being totally honest with you about the affair.

You are possibly confusing forgiveness with resentment? It takes the passage of time and consistency from your FWS for this to fade as well.

The infidelity FAQ's linked below for my wife and I described the whole process perfectly. It was like looking in a mirror.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any questions you want. More than happy to answer as best I can.

2regret, I'm not ignoring you but there are people here that are better qualified to help you than I am. My m ended in D after a year of fake "recovery". ex never admitted to an affair but I think he cheated, no hard proof, just strong circumstantial evidence.

The only thing I can say is if the two of you really want the marriage to work AND are willing to be honest & work together your chances are very good. As to how you get over betrayal...I don't know but with the love & honesty of your H I imagine it comes in time.
