To all of you here on the Marriage Builders Discussion Forum, I want to say thank you for sharing your experiences, your pain and your weaknesses with me. Thank you also for sharing your advice and suggestions. Though I have never posted here before, I have faithfully read each and every post and reply for the last 2 months since my world fell apart. While friends and family have been very supportive during this time, it has been you, the people I do not know personally, that have kept me going when I didn’t know if I could anymore. It has been you, the people who write and respond on this board, who have let me know that I am not alone, that my thoughts and feelings during this time are normal, that it’s OK to cry and be angry at the same time; that I am normal for wanting so badly to give up on any hope of him coming back to me but my love for him will not let me do that just yet. I know that I will be OK no matter what happens and that life will be someday be good again. I just have to go through the grieving process. My story is way too long to share, but I have learned so much from all of you and just felt I needed to tell you how much you have helped me and kept me strong enough that I know I will now be able to endure what ever the future holds for me and my marriage. I will keep coming here and even though I may not post I am here and thinking and praying for all of you. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers also.
Susan

{{{{{{{Susan}}}}}}} I remember when I first found MB and how I important it is to hear from other people who've been through the same thing you have. No matter how well intentioned, our family and friends just can't understand unless they've been there.
I think I can speak for all that if you feel like sharing you're story, no story is "too long," or, I could say, all of our stories are way too long!

((((((trying))))))
Know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
This board can literally be a lifesaver - please continue to post. If nothing else your posting brings reality to a situation that can seem so much like a bad dream, you long to go back to bed and wake up all over again...
I printed out your signature line and posted it on my fridge - good words to remember.
Take care of yourself.

Big hug for you. I agree with the others. No story is too long or too unique. Sharing will help you deal with this stress when others around you do not understand. We have all been through it and there is always someone with the right words for you when you need it the most.
Lets try, broken, and I have much in common, maybe WGTT and Daybreak will also post. Possibly your story is similar, maybe thats why we were drawn to respond.
Take care and we are here for you.
