Allie,

You took a lot of posts the wrong way. The one by PB in particular.

Are you hyperdefensive by nature? (I personally have a little bit of a tendency to do that myself) If so, it might be good for you to acknowledge that and be aware of it as you thru read posts...re-read them a few times before you write anything off as negative.

Pep's advice to take the focus off yourself and instead refocus it on Recovery and your BH is actually spot on... Part of the reason MB is so successful is because it gives both wayward and betrayed spouses a PLAN and HOPE to focus on for a happy M. Something proactive you can do vs focusing on how you feel. This sure did help me in Recovery smile

Hopefully you will keep posting so that we can help you through the steps of Recovery...which actually should be your top priority if you really are focused on your H's pain...and not your own. Posters actually REALLY do want to help you and your BH use the MB concepts to rebuild your M!

It's really unfortunate. She sounded like she was ready to commit to do the right thing. Anything to repair the damage. Instead she left when she was forced to face the truth. It always makes me sad because I've seen just how great things can turn out when people get on board.

STOP focusing on your feelings.
Because, when you are doing that, all that "guilt", you are NOT being a good wife to your husband.

Stop feeling guilty by becoming a GREAT wife to your loving husband.

Self focus is what is killing your marriage today.


What was Pep thinking writing such bombastic vicious venom dripping sarcastic and hateful posts?
