i HAVE JUST RECEIVED "SURVIVING THE AFFAIR" AND HAVE READ HALF OF IT SO FAR. i JUST GET SO DEPRESSED WHEN i THINK IT IS THE BETRAYED SPOUSE WHO HAS TO GO THRU NOT HAVING EMOTIONAL NEEDS MET AND WORK SO HARD AND THE WAYWARD SPOUSE GETS TIME TO BE DEPRESSED AND SULK AND THINK THINGS THRU. JUST ANOTHER SIGN OF LIFE BEING UNFAIR. I AND H ARE IN PLAN A, I AM DOING WELL WITH THE NO ANGRY OUTBURSTS AND SUCH. ITS JUST HARD TO IMAGINE THE DAY WHEN THE FOG WILL CLEAR AND THINGS WILL BE BETTER. 6 MONTHS SEEMS SO LONG. THIS ROLLER COASTER RIDE IS BECOMING SCARIER EVERY DAY.

Mucca- re read Plan A again and remember it's for YOU. If you're feeling down do something that will make you feel better..try a walk in a new park, a facial or anything that you like. Pamper yourself a little. Write out your feelings in a journal. I would write down the bad ones and then rip 'em up and throw them away. Use this time to think about what changes you would like to see in yourself, and then plan on how you'd make those changes. Spend this time to really figure out what you want in the relationship. It all starts with baby steps. Eventually you will have more good hours in the day then bad. Hang in there<BR>Twyla
