Welcome to the board

Sorry you are here but you will meet some wonderful people here and get some great advice.

The first thing you should do is be sure to read the Divorce Remedy (DR) book by MWD
http://www.mcssl.com/store/mwdtc2014/
http://divorcebusting.com/sample_book_chapters.htm

You may be on moderation now, post in small frequent replies and stay on this thread until you reach 100 posts
(for your thread, you can also post on other peoples threads to give support).
Especially on this Newcomers forum, where the posting activity is very active,
and your posts can quickly fall to the bottom of the page or even several pages down.
Keep journaling and asking questions - people will come!
Most important - POST!

Get out and Get a Life (GAL).

DETACH.


Believe none of what he or she says and half of what he/she does.

Have NO EXPECTATIONS.

Take care of yourself, breathe, eat, sleep, exercise.

Take the parts of this advice that you need and don't worry if I have repeated something that you have already done.

Here are a few links to threads that will help you immensely:

Hi neverM, I am sorry to see that you are here. You mentioned that you confronted your W about her affair, what was her response?

You also mentioned that you are "trying to work things out". What things are you trying?

I'm sorry to hear this, I know the struggle I'm 46, she's in the best shape ever and my W needed validation from someone other than me.

I'm trying to work it out as well, it's tough it feels like drowning at times or even if I'm in the middle of a crowd I feel alone. it's a process and I hope you find that love and peace that we all deserve! All the best, and do the best you can for YOU! Take care of yourself 1st and make YOU the priority because if it works out or not YOU need to be right!

Good luck!
