Hey WS, what a wonderful post. I'm so glad all is going well for you.<P>Yes a year does make a difference. Since my discovery was 1/08/99, Christmas was a bit strained last year, but I had no idea why. Just little things, but of course it was because he was leading dual lives for those few short weeks. This Christmas was great. Nothing spectacular (like your ring) but just a nice feeling. The season has been better and easier than I expected it would be, but I'm holding my breath until after the discovery date. If I can get past that without major pain, then maybe I'll pronounced myself cured. Maybe always scarred, but cured. We'll see. Today, the first day of skiing was a bit difficult and I don't know why...so I was a bit surprised. Have been doing great for about six weeks. Maybe some major cuddle time tonight will help.<P>Anyway, WS, God Bless and don't know about you, but I am READY to give 1999 the old "heave ho" and greet the New Year with a new life.<P><P>------------------<BR>Faith, Hope, Love Remain,<BR>but the greatest of these is Love.<BR>1 Corinthians 13:13

WS:<P>I apologize for the long time it took me to respond to you. Thank you for the information on how to post and your advise on the wisdom of other readers/writers. You are right....there are a host of wise and helpful individuals on this site. I will give it some thought. I've been an avid reader(Marriage Builders, Divorce Busters and About.com), but I'm not sure if I want to document this struggle. My wife and I have just come off a wonderful 3 days of holiday. Additionally, she reads here often. I've asked her about doing one together, but she declined. Thanks again for sharing your success.
