Hi N_B_S, (former name "IT THE SOUTH")<P>I too had the same feeling. I could not watch a TV show that had a pregnant woman on it or see a show that had people committing A. I would get upset at seeing a pregnant women or seeing a tiny baby.<P>But, I survived and got over it. At times the "ping" comes back (when H and I are watching a show".<P>Now I look at children clothes and toys and want to buy something for the oc's (I have 2 oc--same OW, 11mths apart).<P>And yes it could have been prevented, but GOD gives us objects/problems/situations to overcome and grow stronger in life and happiness.

never-be-same,<P>the pain gets less and less over time. i used to cringe when i saw t.v. shows that showed people having affairs, and when a girl cheating on her H at work, i just wanted to grab her and talk some sense in to her. i could barely stand to speak to her though. <P>glory and praise is right though. life is full of challenges and for everyone it is different. this is ours. how we overcome them, and make the most of what we do have in life, is what is important.<P>take care. these thoughts get less frequent. prayers for you.<P>happy_girl

NBS,<P>Just wanted to give you my support. You are right...you will never be the same, but with God and time, you will be better. I never believed it when I saw people on here saying that, but now I am beginning to see it in my marriage. You are in my prayers...<P>Love<P>bw

I agree with Happy Girl & Broken Wings. You will never be the same. You will be better if you want to be better. You may be worse if you allow this to eat up your soul. Take the option of being better. Take the high road that OW did not take and take control of your life. It can be done. You can be happy again. <P>Take care... Carolyn
