I know there are several of us here on the forum recovering from a LTA. PW1 has set up another thread here on the board, but I thought I'd start a new one. I'm hoping it will give those new at LTA recovery and those of us years past DDay a place to just get some support. I am vowing to check this post at least every week.

My Story: FWH had a LTA (over 10 years on and off with infrequent liasons) with a former coworker. I say former because although they continue to have the same employer, they do not work together at all and she works in a different building. After much consideration (and going against MB principles) I have agreed to FWH keeping his job. FWH has made many changes and lives a totally transparent lifestyle, which he did not do before.

We are quickly approaching 4 years since DDay. We are facing an empty nest next month, which I view ambivalently. I welcome the increased time with FWH, but I am a born mother and I will miss that part of my life terribly. I got a new puppy last week to help with that, lol. I am overall quite happy with my life and I can say we have happily recovered. But, I still have times when I doubt myself, my M, and our recovery and I'd like to have a place to post those thoughts.

After all this time, people feel you should "be over it" and maybe your friends and relatives are tired of listening to you talk about the A. I think only others recovering from an LTA can possibly know what it's like! Feel free to email me if you prefer.
