What is your gender? Female<P>How old are you? 40<P>How long were you married? 17 years<P>Are you a BS, a WS, or both? Both. H had an A last year. I died inside, but tried again. I asked for divorce 6 weeks ago, signed seperation agreement then I had an EA - still going on. Never thought I would go there.<P>Are there multiple infidelities in your situation? H says only 1, don't know for sure. Me - this one.<P>Do you have children? How old are they? No kids, 3 horses and a dog. <P>Do you post only on this section of the forum? If not, where else do you post? Mostly lurk, but GQ and DD. <P>In the time you've been here at MB, what is the most important thing you've learned about yourself? That I count. I don't have to walk on egg-shells. That I married an alcoholic who is controlling and has always been verbally abusive and that I can't change him, but I can protect and change myself. That I am co-dependent and need to work on that.<P>In the time you've been here at MB, what is the most important thing you've learned about marriage? That it takes two working at it. Not 50/50, but 100/100. Don't take each other for granted.<BR> <BR>Are you married, in limbo of some kind, separated, legally separated, separated and filed, or divorced (or something in between)? Divorce was final on my birthday 7/12/01. I'm happy. A big weight has been lifted. Should have done it years ago.<BR> <BR>What one word of advice would you give someone who is new here? Read all you can and learn from others experiences. Ask questions and pray for guidance.
