ps

Jennifer Harley said to me (and i believe it's in SAA) that if my H loved me once, he CAN love me again even if he isn't feeling that he loves me now

maybe THAT is what the HARLEY's KNOW and believe

I got the "I love you but I am not 'in love' with you" talk when he was in luuuvvvv with OW..his 'soulmate' at the time. He is now ashamed of how he was while in his A(s). He now has a better understanding of real love and commitment.

My WH continued to tell me he loved me for three years. Now we are getting divorced.

I know that no one will ever love him like I loved him. But there finally came a time when I was no longer willing to waste my love on him.

That time was close to coming for me had he not pulled his head out...in the nick of time. I had pretty much had it by the insult and disgust I felt by his betrayal of that additional A.

I realize that Pep and others are just expressing their feelings today... and whether they are right or wrong sometimes doesn't matter... that it helps to express the feelings.

That's about right Switzerland ....

I have just discovered I have another vulnerability that I did not know I had

sort of surprising after all this time on MB

probably good for me to get this hurt every now and then

sharpens the tools, or sompin' .... >shrug< , I donno

I think I want to take a 2X4 to my own head

not really

but perhaps mind-altering drugs?

not really

something is giving me the willies <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
& I can't quite put my finger on what it is

system failure
spark plugs not firing

I am really tired of hand-wringing over duplicity and marriage terrorism

really tired

It gets me down when I try like heck to be REAL here ... only to be shatupon by imposters & posers who are sincerely disingenuous and fully corrupt ... some of whom use ~admiration~ to weasel kudos from long-timers such as ourselves.

HOWZ DAT big guy?

Pep, it's thanks to long-timers like yourself that the board has some protection from the imposters and poseurs who abuse the 'service'. It's only the familiarity with posting styles and language that allows the vets to spot recurring trouble-makers.

Can I say thank-you, without sparking your kudos-seeking alarm? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi Pep,

I see your message. I agree. I am been pondering how much ot the unrest on this site lately has been generated by all of this going on. I am getting a very ugly answer in my own head about this.

Hope you are feeling better. Is that why you have shed the tread? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Naw.... well, sort of >shrug< ... I decided to get nekkid when MB was just too stooooopid for words yesterday .... my way of making myself ( and others ? ) laff ....

and being honest

I was HURT

my
very
own
actual
feelings

and because I have so many posts logged to my name, I not supposed to get hurt and I am supposed to be "nice" & use polite & caring words when I am being intentionally misused

I wanted to kick OWL in his cajones earlier he made me so angry

WAT & Neak & Mimi gave me a slap to 'da head .... and I went all mellow ( dang it )

Why did God make me Irish is he wasn't intending me to use it?

.... talk to God about this, would ya? ... and then get back to me

Pep,

Well the answer is...He made you Irish to test you. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I think your failing Pep is that you are far too succinct. If you were a wordy as I am, they would not quote you so much. Heck, they go to sleep about half way through my posts. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> A bit more verbosity (sp) and you won't be quoted so much, THUS...less misquotes.

See isn't life easy? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Now put your clothes on young lady. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

God Bless,

JL
