I logged on to my computer today to work on a class I need to take, and SI was one of the recommendations. I know it's been over two years, and probably no one remembers me or is still here who was here when I was.

I do know that I lived for the stories of peace and a new life. My life now is so very different than the first day I came here for advice and support. I am divorced and running a household on my own, raising my three kids. Though things are not always easy, they are solid and good. I get out quite a bit to live music and basketball games, and I find joy and laughter along the way. My life is not perfect, but I feel a level of peace that I hadn't felt all those years we tried to be in R. We coparent well, and for the most part, my life is just the usual. I thought I'd pop in to say hello to anyone who may still be here and to just share in case this might help anyone who is still struggling. I never knew when I was in the midst of it all that this side would be good, but it really has been quite ok. smile

I remember you as well - so glad you got to join me/us on the happily-no-longer-consumed-by-infidelity club!

You are the only person you are guaranteed to spend the rest of your life with. Act accordingly.

Oh gosh! I’m so glad to see so many of you doing well. I feel like I was so deep in pain when I was here that I almost don’t recognize that woman at all. I’m so much more me now. I’m going to scroll through and see if I can find some updates on all of you.

The feeling of peace after the chaos of infidelity is amazing. I am thankful for it every day. Sometime I forget to fully appreciate it when I have my sad days, so I force myself to go back to the darkest times just as a reminder of how far I've come. Hoping for good things for you...
