I've been hanging around this board since before it had multiple forums - since the fall of 1998, when my then husband moved out.
I've been helped A LOT, and I think I've been able to help and support some people a bit - I've challenged and angered some people (especially when it comes to my opinions about "DB'ing" lousy relationships that aren't marriages ), and have laughed hysterically at some of the posts here. I've posted here in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep, and often found some kindred souls similarly sleepless over their crumbling marriages.
I suggested to Michele that she add the "We're Separated" forum, and I'm pleased to see that the forum is still there. She also incorporated one of my posts in DR, and even though my marriage didn't last, I guess it achieved some sort of immortality by making it into her book!
Now that my Hugmaster General and I are talking marriage, I'm ready to move on. I will probably check in in a few months to see what's going on, but I have successfully "Survived the Big D" and now it's time to put divorce stuff behind me.
I wish you all much happiness and the best of luck.
Mary, Good luck and best wishes to you and your new man. You've come a long way and have been there for a lot of people. Please be sure to come back by to visit from time to time. We all love you dearly!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Mary: I totally understand where you are coming from but please do check in. It is hard to go cold turkey at least for me it has been (see it hasn't worked). I wish you well with Hugmaster General - it has been fun reading your exerpts!
Mary, you have been an integral part of this board, an inspiration and a gentle strength. you will be muchly missed. Congratulations on your new path and I wish you all the best in love and happiness on the journey ahead. Its hard to leave the board... I find myself comming when I can, to see how everyone is doing and where they are now. They still give me so much every time I come back for a spell. Best of luck on your endeavors.
Mary, I wish you the best of luck, love and lots of laughter. We've been together a while and I have appreciated your input. I think you're making the right choice in putting this behind you now. Not that you're putting US behind you, just the bad part.
Feel free to drop in anytime and encourage us with your new, and improved, marriage. hugs, GG
