This is so wonderful to hear, FY. Well, except for the sand fleas and diarrhea LOL. I am remembering our first years schlogging thru this loooong process together, and your yearly vacation trips. This one sounded a lot better than those first ones after BD!

Nice to hear that things are slowly progressing. Better than regressing! And that you are hanging in there. You're right -- that IS love!

Do you guys have any pets now?

Hello Forever Young. I dipped through your threads a few times and intend to read your full story again shortly.As my W is still at hone, several people, including Job have recommended I check out your threads. As someone who has travelled this path much longer than me, I would appreciate your insights and thoughts about my situation. I recently moved to mlc forum under WAS or what 8.

Your strength has been a tremendous inspiration to many you don't even know. I just wanted to drop by and introduce myself.

Best wishes

Linda, OMG! You are correct, some of the Anniversary trips of recent past were quite painful, often worse than being at home! Even this latest trip had a few tense moments, but we were able to work through it and have a good time, because commitment. (and understanding)

No new dog yet, frown but we have a bunny and parakeet, both which were found loose in the wild. Being a domestic (pet) rabbit and warm climate bird, both would have perished long ago had we not rescued them.

Roist, if I can help at all I will be honored. I have looked through your threads and will drop by your latest one soon.

I have started reading your threads. I have questions and thoughts but I will complete my reading before asking. I am up to the end of your second thread in mlc section.

We have had some similar thoughts running through our heads. I am curious to see your full path.

I am curious though. How did it turn out for T2?

roist,

TSquared 2 (T2) is divorced and it looks like he last posted over a year ago. He did everything humanly possible and yet, it wasn't enough to save his relationship w/his xw.

I'm providing the link to his last thread.

Yes, I do remember your above post from way back when! Thanks, and I'd say everyone here "still has a chance". It isn't over until we say it's over.

Early on, while thinking about how I badly I fecked things up, I remember giving "us" a 50/50 shot of making it this far. There were moments where that dropped much lower. Think: Roller coaster ride! Yahoo! sick But as time went on, things s-l-o-w-l-y got better. I'm so glad I held on. smile

I now have read and in some cases reread all of your threads. I learned some interesting stuff, got some pointers and got a frightening insight into how long my path could be. Best not think about that, hey.

Throughout your struggle even at the worst moments, your sense of humour was awesome. I may not have made it through all those threads without that!!! I smiled, smirked and sometimes laughed at your posts. You inspire me to want to be as good humoured. It undoubtedly helped you.

I have many questions but I will start with ONE. Only answer if you want to. Can you describe fully exactly where ye are at now? I am happy you are happy.

Best wishes
