Linda,

Wow - you HAVE come along way Sarah, good post, you have managed to get past some of the anger and are on a smoother place in the roller coaster.


Thanks - it's good to hear <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />! I do feel Dwain and I are finally making some progress. I hated being stuck in a rut.

in fact right now there is a thread with a lot of veterans who advise us, and they are talking about still feeling resentment 10 years down the road.


Wow, 10 years. They must be miserable. There is no way I will be miserable for that long. I just won't let that happen.

We're still waiting for our results back from the enrichment questionnaire we took so we can begin M counseling together. I am optimistic about the counseling! I hope it continues to move us forward.

What he didn't understand then was that everytime he evaded or refused to answer to protect me that I imagined it to be so much worse that it was.


Yeah, Dwain didn't understand this either. I even explained to him the other day when we were discussing answering questions, could anything possibly be worse than him actually having the affair in the first place???? I don't think so!

Sometimes, the answer to a question will trigger another question, so don't be surprised if she thinks of something else.


Thanks for warning Dwain of this. I'm really trying not to delve into the answers I've received so I don't have more questions. But, you're right, it does trigger more questions.

It's been awhile since I've written. Things are still really up and down with the M. We start our M counseling next week.

I haven't heard from Michele (GladtoPressOn). Are you still around? I miss hearing from you!

How are you doing Linda?
