I used to post in GQII all the time...I was obsessed over there for a while...I stopped posting, cuz I realized that the more I read the more down and depressed I got. It is so painful to see sooo many people going thru the tragedy of infidelity and everyday a new name pops up over there!

Once I found out about the A, I was absolutley devastated...Beyond belief!!! Then when I found out OW was pregnant I thought my life was over! But I dealth with the latest news much better!

I think thru all the infidelity, people who are dealing with OC are dealing with the worst possible thing they can their whole lives...BUT over here everyone seems so upbeat...on GQII it is so somber!

Why is that? I mean we are dealing with so much, yet we or shall I say you al can be so upbeat about things...I think I am going to like it here! Although I dont like BEING here at all, but if I have to be someplace I suppose this is the place to be! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

It's because we rock, girl friend!

We've also been to the lowest of the low, so the only way is up now!

Hi,

I think going through the continue stain of OC with OW makes us have to get strong. Yes we get in slumps as I did today. When we do others rally around us to pull us out. We all know how it feels to be down and we are ready to be a team to pull up a member when they are down. We can make it through this. If we can get through this we can get through anything.

I'm with on that BBYG.

Wish I would have found this site last summer before OW got pregnant when H and I were separated and maybe I could have done something to things reaching the level they reached and OW getting pregnant but I figure it all happened this way for a reason.

Not thread Hi-jack but Nios what is up--you didn't answer me--maybe you are a stuck up Texan after all. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> I'm sure you will have a great response to that! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

MT3, Glad you found us and sorry you had to. We are here to lift you up and for you to lift us up when we need it and we need something everyday!! These women here are a blessing! And if it hadn't been for them, I would have gone crazy by now. We are here to teach each other that with the help of Christ, we CAN and DO over come events in our lives. We learn how to make this JUST an event and not our lives! MB is not to change your H but for you to make the changes in YOU so you will be a better person! Glad to have you at both sites and keep us informed.

I'm w/ nio----see we have been sooooooooo low--the VERY bottom that we have no choice but to go UP!

When it's 'just an A', you can get even lower by having OC, so here you are---it's done, you're here!

Welcome to the bottom of the barrell. Now that you're here you find out that it really IS a 'barrell o' monkeys'!

AND you can make it into a 'barrell of fun'. LOL
Is that asking for too much? naaaaaaahh!!

It's a whole new ball game you're gonna be dealing w/ & each of us have experience in one way or another w/ each aspect so we're all here to help guide each other through it. TOGETHER.

Keep us updated.

Welcome Mom23boys! The thing I like most about this site is that you will get many different viewpoints about how various people have chosen to deal with the issue of an OC from an affair. Some will have no contact, some will go for custody, some will have various types of visitation arrangements. And I have seen very little judgement about what choice you make. You may get differing viewpoints, but it is generally done with concern and respect. At a time when many of our friends and family either don't know what's happening or think we've "lost it", this is a safe place to vent and deal with some issues that no one outside this group can quite understand. We look forward to supporting you, and benefitting from your wisdom.
