I just HATE affairs and I want other BSes to be as HAPPY as I am today ..to BELIEVE that such HAPPINESS is indeed POSSIBLE....and I credit my HAPPINESS to MBers and that's why I get so PASSIONATE and ZEALOUS about it...SO THERE....


Yeah. That. What Meems said.


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

Mimi, It takes a lot of effort and mental strength to help people on this board. You helped me a great deal on my journey through MB. A journey that changed me a great deal but is still not done.

Keep up the good work.

Me: BS
XCH: Clueless
2-DS: Bigger than me
1-DD: Now also bigger than me!

5/6: Personally served CH with divorce papers
6/6: CH F? wants to time to see if M can be saved
7/6: FCH reenters our lives to work on marriage but secretly signs papers to start divorce...what's that about?

It's been quite a while since I logged in and posted a comment. I found it a little too painful to stay active early in our recovery....but must admit that I would still visit and read from time to time. When I saw Mimi started a thread, and then read her post......I just had to jump in.

((Mimi)) She helped me tons, sometimes I don't think I would have made the proper choices if it weren't for her tough love and strict compliance in the MB principles. I can say with 100% accuracy, IF I HADN'T FOUND MB AND FOLLOWED THE GUIDELINES - MY M WOULD HAVE ENDED IN D.

Since I am in a much better place, I will make it a point to give back what I have received. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thank you, again, Mimi

Mimi!

I'm still following YOUR instructions! Since I'm in a plan B where nothing has happened for nearly 2 years I don't post much anymore. I don't have much time either since MB is not accessible from work.

On the other hand I listen to Dr. Harley EVERY DAY! I don't think enough people are doing this since Dr. Harley and Joyce don't seem to get many calls or e mails. I think people who come here should take advantage of the fact taht Dr. Harley is there for free! He is so accessible now.

I've been listening and learning and I've become an even stronger believer in Dr. Harley's expertise. He KNOWS! it's awesome.

i am by no mean following every single plan and advice given here, but i do believe in the MB principle. Mimi......you have helped me here in Jamaica a whole lot. With your tenacity and passion to fight for my M.

Now with my WW making tentitive steps to let me meet her EN and starting to kiss me,talking to me and sharing her feelings, i realize that without you , W's , 2L and other old timers.........my marriage could have ended a loooooooooog time ago.

You were one of my heroes in my darkest days and you help me to look on life very differently.

If you helped only one couple, then you have saved future generation of yet unborn souls in this life.

thank you for your advice and love.

I am not only stronger emotionally but wiser due to you sharing your life with me.

i dont stick around much though because i feel too much other people pain here.............and it hurts.

i miss 2L

for whats its worth mimi, i am fighting for my M because you gave me hope.

thank you.

I've been feeling really spiritual for the past couple of days..even moreso spiritual than is USUAL for me...

I used to really struggle with questioning the PURPOSE of my H's affair..Such HORRIBLE and TRAGIC things happened to me, him, our children, our family...

I believe that things happen for a reason..

NC, your post really touched my SOUL..because I've been thinking that it was all meant to be..to serve some greater PURPOSE...

Oh, My God, this is so INCREDIBLY AWESOME when I really think about it...

I can't put into words how AWESOME this is...

Not just how I am helping others..but how others have helped me..and we are all helping each other...

I DEFINITELY HAD GUARDIAN ANGELS here that helped me through some of the darkest hours of my life when I did not even want to live any longer...I didn't know how I could go on and NOW..I AM SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY..I can hardly believe it...

I'm so thankful that I am able to give back and that I have given back to you NC and others....

((((((NC, MY BROTHER)))))...

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart....

may no sea, countries, continents, or lifetime ever seperate you from us. Thank you and never doubt that God is using you as an example to help me and countless others to say"look mimi did it. so can we".

I want to focus on being patient for my WW, she is still justifying but with your example....i will listen and love. And slowly , gently lead.

Thank you for the examples that you have set for us.

So if i am not on these boards for awhile, i will be back.

You are ALWAYS in my heart, so is MM, 2L, LA, BH and soooooooooo many others.

Thank you for giving us hope.

sometime soon ....stop posting..........look back............and see the sea of people you have helped.

look at us saying thank you.

We may not always follow everything. But we love the fact that you and ALL others, strangers to us, really cared for us.

We love you.

My WW is calling me. Take care .

One Love.

NC
