Hi, everyone! Just wanted to give you a quick update. So many good things are happening . . . and it's only been one week!<P>H and I both saw the counselor separately and then went together yesterday. We're finding that there is a lot to work on, but it's worth it.<P>My H is being so sweet and attentive and I'm trying very hard as well. We're spending a lot of time together and all of it has been good. He hasn't yet asked many questions about the A - I guess he will when he's ready. I promised him I'd answer ALL of his questions honestly.<P>I'm so grateful to be given a second chance with this wonderful man, and if I ever doubted that he loves me . . . I have NO doubts now. He's truly an amazing person. I'm glad he believes enough in us and our marriage to give me a chance to make up for what I've done.<P>Being out of the fog has had another positive effect - I realize now that OM didn't have a fraction of the character that my H has. I see just how much b.s. there was from OM, something I refused to acknowledge until now.<BR>

I'm really happy for you, and glad you realize what a special H you have. Many WS's do not see that so quickly.<P>Your post gives me hope that someday mine will feel the same way you do now.<P>Good luck to you both!

Susie,<P>I am so glad that things are going well. Just like K said, there will be ups and downs. There are times when my H and I are really enjoying our life, only to have the wave of emotions come up.<P>Its just like moving three steps forward and two steps back. Just keep a positive attitude, tell him you love him and you are sorry.<P>PJ

Susie,<P>Glad to see that things are going well. Quite a difference from the holidays, and that is nice to see. I like WAT's idea of calling the wives, but perhaps instead we could buy our wives a vacation together, and you go to the same place...we'll get 3 adjoining rooms. You bump into them, straighten them out for us and report back. OK, now I'm in the fog.....<P>Continued good luck.
