Hang on to the fact that you did the right thing, and 2007, although starting off with a great deal of difficulty can end up to be one of your best years ever.
You cannot fix what you don't admit is broke, and you have come to terms with that! We all know it's really tough for you right now, and it may even get tougher. We also know that with the help of Dr. Harley's philosophy and this website we can guide you and support you to much brighter days.
Just know in your heart you have done the right thing!!!
Best wishes,
SD

[color:"red"] AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN 5 SHORT CHAPTERS [/color]
Chapter I
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost..I am helpless,
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
Chapter II
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again!
I can’t believe I am in the same place.
But it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
Chapter III
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in.....it’s a habit,
my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
Chapter IV
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
Chapter V
I walk down another street.

this morning I went to my H's early AA meeting to give him his AA birthday cake (he's 11 ... and he celebrates for an entire week ! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />) and I love going to AA meetings meeting the wonderful folks who once were lower than a snake's belly ... and have struggled with their demons and have been willing to move forward in a new, emotionally honest , healthier way of living it is so inspirational to meet people who were WAY down at the BOTTOM of the PIT, but refused to dwell there your infidelity experience does NOT give you a note excusing you from making something good out of your life you remain responsible for your own choices from this day forward to make yourself a better man quit lying to yourself quit excusing yourself from life offer yourself up to your wife with a willing heart to go through the rough stuff together and Happy NEW Year Pep

offer yourself up to your wife with a willing heart to go through the rough stuff together and I might add... "hand in hand"! You can be a mighty inspiration to yourself, and others! Your bravery will not go unnoticed! Hang in there... SD

htsal- didn't have time to read all the posts in detail, but I'm getting the picture. Do you think any of this has to do with pay-backs?? I'm a BW, and I've thought frequently about payback. My H has never been jealous, always had blind faith. I always think about giving him a taste of his own medicine. But, I'm afraid I could easily get tangled up in it like you have, and I am definitely vulnerable to an A right now.
Honeslty, the only thing stopping me is my kids, but sometimes I even think- he had his fun, why can't I- I deserve at least one A, or EA at least without it tearing our family apart. Why does he get to have all of this adoration from OW while all I get are his half a---- attempts at affection. I'm just wondering if any of this crossed YOUR mind before your A's.
