Partner left after 9 yrs - Pieced and married 3yrs - 02/15/13 12:17 PM
Wow, I had to come here and post a new thread!
Just to say a huge THANK YOU for the kind words on the previous one:
Partner left after 9 yrs - Reconciled now married!
I had tears in my eyes reading that my threads and story have helped others. (Hi Pie!) I am so glad, since I carried on posting it was always my intention to help others as this site literally saved my life I think at one time. I dont know what I would have done without it and the people on here. Too many to mention, but yes, including my old piecing pal Kalni, who continues to do well in her marriage with H. I was one of the lucky ones, but its true that we all learnt a ton of stuff, taking responsibility, exercising extreme forgiveness and dare I say it... patience!
And for completeness, all my old threads.. Wow, so many:
Link to all my old threads from the very beginning
So.. H and I went out for dinner this week for our 14 year anniversary (how Saturnian).. we dont count the gap anymore, in fact, 3 years after reconciling, we dont even talk about the gap anymore. I think thats quite extrodinary considering it was such a dramatic, devastating time! I remember that back then I couldnt stop crying or see a future for myself. Funny how life changes.
I dont take my relationship for granted anymore. I dont disrespect my husband and I always wince when I see couples tutting, rolling their eyes, bickering or doing that coupley moaning about each other to friends in front of their partner .. H and I both hate al of that and try and just lead by example in being KIND to each other at home and in public.
