And on that happy note, lets keep this party going! cool

Not even sure I have any left.

"How long has it been since the A was over for you?"

Dday, and the end of the A, was memorial day 2004. I wandered the battlefield in a dazed shock for about a month before finding MB.

My four year anniversary was acknowledged quietly in my head.

I discovered emails on her account. Never had gone there before. My trust was implicit. A started on the internet. OM lived in Phoenix, we in San Diego. He would fly in for a day of fun and frolic.

I had no clue. She compartmentalized well.

Enough about me

So SDGUY, is it San Diego or South Dakota?

"but did your marriage recover krusht?"

Yes it did.....I guess...well, yeah, sure it did.

Define recover.

We are still together, happy with each other, and enjoy each others company.

It never is the same though, on the inside....but that's between me, myself and I, ya know?

Thanks for listening.

My answer to this is that I am slowly putting the pieces back together.

I know my kids are being taken care of since they are with me; however sealing with the financial fallout has been very difficult and stressful. Plus they have only seen their mom a grand total of about 6 hours the last two months and won't see her for another month at least (long story).

Will I be able to trust someone again? I dunno...time will tell as my personal recovery continues.





Divorced on 3/25/2008 but I have primary legal and physical custody of my 2 kids.

Krusht - you think so? Since when has an "overcomer" of one life's hardest issues become "less than" what they were previously?

And in answer to your first question...yes. It "happens" when you finally reach "Recovered," not while still "mired" in the process of recovering. It happens when you realize that there is much more to a marriage than what you find "below the belt." It happens when you realize just how much "testicular fortitude" it takes to actually overcome infidelity.
