Today we have been married 20 years! Last summer I thought I would spend this day alone and in the middle of a divorce.
Wow! Here we are together and happy. I just wanted to say thank you to all who were here for me. You helped to save my life, my marriage, and my children's home.
Last year at this time tst's A was igniting. March, has many special days for us: our 1st date anniversary, our wedding anniversary, and the birth of two of our children. So, knowing that his A developed during our "special" month made me feel that I had lost "our month". tst did everything in his power this entire month to restore our special days and to help me through. He created some wonderful memories for us this year. He sent me flowers about 15 different times (I LOVE flowers). He gave me cards and gifts. He took me out and we took the family out. Just about everyday, he did something to show his love and commitment to me.
THIS is the man I fought for. THIS is the man I wanted back...not that cray alien that possessed him for 9 months.
Thank you again. I hope you'll celebrate with us.
Happily married to HerPapaBear

That's awesome.
What TST did for you was amazing. I am so happy for you *I'm* crying.....lol.....
Happy 20th Anniversary SMB & TST!
Husband was unfaithful to me before and after our marriage, at least 7 times. I found out 13 yrs into the marriage. Trickle truth for an entire year. Several different d-days, so it was more like a d-year. Difficult recovery.

Thanks everyone! Yes, Queenie, it is awesome!
I knew I had to share our anniversary here with all the people who showed me how to fight for our marriage and for all the people who were here to see tst come home.
We had a wonderful anniversary. And I was thinking, a few bad months (although really horrible) cannot remove 20 years of joy.
OW does NOT win. satan does NOT win. I win; tst wins; our children win...and God reigns in our home again. I'm praising God today for His wonders and miracles.
