What an amazing post. Spot on. I don't think I could express how I feel any better than what you have here. These are exactly the things I need. I am printing this to give to WW. I hope she reads it, gets it, and uses it.

Truly amazing. Thank you.

This is EXACTLY how I feel. I wish I could get by H to read this.We are in R but there is more than 1 DD. So the NC has been NC as far as I know. I think it may take me longer to heal because there are still things that I know that he has not brought up on his own. Me bringing it up will only cause an argument and Im tired of arguing. Its only been 1 month since NC(emails,text) its been longer NC ,H has not been with her physically in months. Maybe one day he will read this. HE HATES TO READ.

This is the best and most accurate description of exactly what I, BS, have been feeling!! I emailed it to my WS and he is reading it as I sit here. It is PERFECT and I think many would agree.

Once a WS reads this, they cannot claim they do not know what to do to help heal the pain they have created.

What do you do when you give this link to your WS and they don't read it, it's too long, then you never hear back...

HUFI-PUFI:

Thank you for you post. It has helped my FWS understand where I was at and believe me without this we would not have celebrated our 20th Anniversary or be looking forward to a future together.

Thank you again

I am a new BS who just had his own DD about a week ago.

I want you to know that that post is the most beautiful thing that I've read and I so wish my WW would do these things.

I hurt so bad, that post made me cry terribly.

I pray that many WS read this, learn and understand.
