I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your brother.

In regard to the nagging feeling you speak of, someone on the forum once told me something that was very helpful to me. The root of that feeling is fear, and this fear is an attempt to make us stumble and to deny us support and comfort. It is not a warning from the Lord. It comes from the evil one.

I really miss him already. He is the one who supported me in 2009 when H went "off the deep end" and contacted OW via email and phone after 16 months of NC. My brother came to stay with me, helped me winterize the house and get the snow blower ready for use. He stayed with DS when H and I attended the MB weekend in Jan 2010. I always felt as though he had my back when no one else did. Today, H has my back, but there is always that slight nagging feeling that maybe he won't be there for me.

AM,
I just stopped by this site to check on you and discovered your loss. I am very sorry to hear that you have lost your brother. Time, of course, will take some of the pain away; and your wonderful memories of your brother's support and love will keep him on your mind forever.

As to that nagging feeling, I know what you mean. "Broken trust is like a broken vase. You can glue it back together, but you can't ever be sure that it will always hold water." It doesn't mean that you haven't recovered your marriage or that you don't enjoy your relationship. The hard lesson from infidelity is that you can never trust again as you did before.

Have a good Christmas.

GY

At the same time, after knowing where you are now--so incredible--it is very very encouraging for me. I'm thinking of you often, especially when I get discouraged. Your last post telling me of your H's actions and sweet words to you was such a delight for me to read. I keep thinking of that and it just keeps me going. I also see how wonderful all of the posters were and how they were all encouraging, praying and pulling for you in your worst moments...I am so grateful for finding MB and this forum.

It was a long read. Glad that you found some helpful things in it.

It was terrible for quite a while. I found it hard to believe people who said there was a better future. But, they were right. Life is good now and our marriage is a big part of that.
