My H father passed away on Friday. I am trying to be there for H, we are doing lots of family things, but in the back of my mind is the worry of how this will affect him and that the stress of it will send him to OW. I feel so selfish worrying about myself and our relationship at a time like this. <BR>H and I seem like we are closer, he even told me he loves me to my face last night ( the one other time was on the phone ) He is taking some extra days off so will not be seeing OW at work this week and I am glad about that. Just having a hard time with my feelings and needed to vent a little here. Thanks for listening<BR>Lora

Sorry to hear about you FIL. I don't think you are being selfish. You are human. Just continue to be there for your H as you have been doing and I believe that things will come around. You know sometimes out of tragedy comes a blessing. Your H's F death may cause him to see how much it would hurt to lose you.... Stay encouraged, be strong, and keep on keeping on! <P>------------------<BR>"If you can learn from the mistakes of others, you won't have to make them youself."<P>lady_divine77@yahoo.com
