About five years ago I signed onto this website for help in despair.

My husband had an affair.

I was broken, crying, searching, despondent.

Marriage Builders and the people on the threads brought me and my marriage back to the land of the living.

I am forever grateful.

There have been a couple of times that I have tried to leave, but for whatever reasons I have come back to the boards.

I'm going dark for awhile again. Things are great in my life, and I need some time to get some things done. One or two things need to be left behind so I can do one or two other things.

To everyone here, I wish them peace, and ANSWERS.

Love,
Schoolbus


Lucky to be where I am, in a safe place to get marriage-related support.
Recovered.
Happy.

Our new marriage began that day. Not easily, but it did happen.

I know what you are saying. I guess we all have things to do.

God Bless you Schoolbus and family this Christmas.

SchoolBus,

Your presence here will be missed more profoundly than you realize. Having said this, I do know that you are doing the right thing for you and your family.

Have a Great Christmas and a better New Year.

You will be missed.

Dear Schoolbus:

I'm so sorry to see you go. If it were not for CGIR connecting with you, I don't believe that we would be married today.

And you've been the only one who I've felt understands the way I've been thinking about things and encouraged me to keep working, as opposed to telling me, in one way or another, to "get over it."

CGIR and I hope you will return at some point to see how we are doing.

THANK YOU, and best wishes -

BV

God bless you, SB. Thank you for sharing your gifts with so many of us on this board. Please know that you are appreciated and will be missed during your break.

Hope and I discuss your posts often. We are big fans of yours. We are both waiting for the day when the OW's wails are louder than ours.

That is my favorite post of yours. How to tell when the affair is over.

Yes, we are all looking for answers. Thanks for helping us get some of those answers.
