Thank You and No Contact :)

[samprez]

All, I wanted to say thank you for the support. Those that posted in my threads and those who posted their stories for us to all share. They've all been extremely helpful; even the angry ones.

 

As I'm exiting from this episode in my life, I have the feeling that continuing to linger her is helping keep the situation I've been in alive. Ultimately, we all have to come to a point when we move on and live our lives; everyday. This site and blogging has gotten me through the past 6 weeks and I am grateful for the input.

 

Having said that I think after today and some personal exchanges I'm going NC with you people . I think that be constantly surrounded by our common stories isn't helping me move along anymore. To some degree I feel I have to jettison the this from my person and move on without the lifeline. I'm in IC and getting there and making progress. My dr. thinks it's great I've been writing and blogging and thinks I'm a fairly healthy good guy who made a series of bad decisions. I think he's right.

 

My wife is awesome and has handled this like a champ. I owe her more and will give her that. I have been and will continue to be the man she married.

 

For those of you that were betrayed let me say on behalf of us idiots who did that to you, we're sorry.

 

For those of us who strayed, fix what's wrong, work hard and own up. But own up and work hard. Saying you understand and not doing the work isn't helpful. Show you mean it by your actions. Even if your betrayed doesn't take you back or stay with you, earn their respect for trying.

 

Take the advice offered out here with a grain of salt because we all see life through our own filter. But listen to what people are saying and ignore the tone, there is gold in them those hills.

 

On either side; only you really know your own story and you do what is BEST for your families and your spouses and yourselves. The sun always comes up the next day.

 

I am indebted to you all and wish everyone much success in figuring this out.

 

We are a funny creature we humans. Remember that we are all apt to bad decision making under emotional clouds. Be kind to each other.

Glad to hear that you've got NC in place and established.

 

Take a minute before you go...look back at your first posts here...and stop and recognize just how far you've come in that time!!!

 

You've done the right thing...and I completely get the "leaving LS" for the reasons you've mentioned.

 

I wish you well friend. Maybe sometime in the future you'll be able to come back and post a "success story" for us.

:lmao: You go, samprez! I agree that often, rehashing and rehashing the situation does keep it alive, churning and churning with no resolution.

 

I'm in IC and getting there and making progress. My dr. thinks it's great I've been writing and blogging and thinks I'm a fairly healthy good guy who made a series of bad decisions. I think he's right.

 

You sound that way to me as well.

 

My wife is awesome and has handled this like a champ. I owe her more and will give her that. I have been and will continue to be the man she married.

 

I heartily agree. She is an absolute saint for sticking with you through all this insanity. I hope you cherish her, always, from here on out, and never take her for granted ever again.

 

Good luck!

Good luck Samprez! Wish you both the best and hope that things continue to go well. Keep this site in mind if you feel weak or if exMW contacts you again and you need to vent.
