Hi all,<P>I am in need of a buddy to talk to. Somebody who understands what I've been through this summer. I have not been able to talk to any of my friends about W's affair. Biggest reason is that most of my friends know OM and I couldn't deal with that. If anybody can help, please post e-mail address here so that I can contact you. I can't leave my address here...afraid somebody will see it and tell W. I'd rather her not know at this point that I'm talking about this to other people. She seems to think that since we are working on our marriage that the subject should be closed and I should be able to deal with this and get past it. <P>Thanks<P>------------------<BR>The realization that life is not fair is a pain that lasts a lifetime, but with perserverance and love, the pain can be greatly eased.

You can email me if you want at hopeful1771@hotmail.com. I was the betrayer but I'm always willing to listen. I'm sure my H won't mind if you email him. He is empty shell and you can find his email account on the email exchange thread.

Well, since all the betrayed guys seem to be here, I wanted to get some opinions. Have any of wayward spouses moved out or did you move out? How did plan A or B work for you guys. Are the odds of women coming back after they move out, really as small as they seem? Even if the OM ever falls out of the picture? My wife has only been out 11 days(yeah i'm still counting) but is in the throes of affair, so I of course don't see much hope until it runs the course. Not sure I can hold on that long. By the way my email is vl83@aol.com for l/s or anyone that wants to talk.

Izzy,<P>My Wife left on 17 Feb. She is living & working with OM on the other side of the country. Is Plan A working? Yeah. I don't believe I am withdrawing any love units from her, but she still isn't coming back.<P>------------------<BR>Prayers & God Bless!<BR>Chris<BR>For relationship info check out <A HREF="http://www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html" TARGET=_blank>www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html</A>

Thanks to all for your wonderful posts. Today has been a great day! Both on a personal relationship level with W and with life overall. On days like this it's easy to ignore any problems and to forget even temporarily <sp> that anything has ever been wrong. I'm glad that there are still good days like this to be found. BTW...oldest son had first football game of the season and forced a fumble, ran for 200 yards and 2 touchdowns. Sorry just had to brag a bit. Thanks again to all and I will keep these e-mails handy. Feel free to contact at any time.
