    • About Me

      It won't work! I will continue to believe in Love. No matter how many times people try to knock me down, they never will succeed! No matter how cruel people are to me, I will still believe in Love! I AM JUST FINE!

    • Interests

      Reading, writing, my family, bad jokes, The Pink Panther movies, Star Trek, computers, hanging out at libraries and bookstores, especially Half-Price Books! Darn, I am a total geek! My poor grandchildren don't stand a chance! They'll be third-generation Star Trek Nerds! I am addicted to the following substances, dark chocolate, JuJuBes, smoothies, Applebee's Steaks, the occasional Mudslide at Applebee's, Dove Chocolate And Cherry Courtship Ice Cream, Dark Chocolate Turtles, Dove Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds, Anytizers Honey BBQ. Does the desire to own every single book ever written and buying ridiculously large numbers of books count as substance abuse? What about a pervasive desire to own an English Country Estate mainly so I can have a HUGE PRIVATE LIBRARY? And what about my belief that I actually LIVE IN ENGLAND AND NOT CINCINNATI, OHIO! Leftover hippie, as far to the left as it's possible to be, when did LIBERAL become a dirty word...

      From gabimary December 8, 2008

      Isn't it interesting how our H's USE the freedom we give them to heal, in order to find new women? I recently noticed that my H has been deleting his send messages from his email... hmmm.

  • Support Groups

    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Seconday Progressive MS

      MS since 1988. No longer working. Level of physical disability is fairly low, but have lots of "Invisible disabilities," as most of us who have MS do. Doc prescribed a med that really works to control the one symptom I can't cope with on my own, my vertigo and nausea, and IT WORKS! Probably going to go back to work part-time in 2009.

      Treatments

      Avonex Working / Worked
      According to my doc, and I agree, it is responsible for keeping my disease from getting worse since I switched from Begnign/relapsing/remitting to secondary-progressive.
      Rebif Not Working
      Took it for about a year in 2004 and had worst flare I ever had! Not taking it anymore!
    • Close Infidelity

      My husband has had a cyberaffair with a woman on this website, name of Living Dead Kitty and ended a very intimate relationship with someone else on this website name of Jennga about a week or so ago. In my opinion even though he never actually saw these two womyn, I feel that any kind of going outside the marriage relationship and having a relationship with someone that you have to keep a secret from your spouse, that is cheating...

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Working / Worked
      We have yet to start couples counseling due to his need for individual therapy, but it is absolutely on the aganda!
      Divorce Working / Worked
      If I have to, I will!
      Forgiveness Working / Worked
      I am trying to forgive him and I still love him very much, but a lot of changes have to be made on his part, however, he has been very, very, sweet and romantic for the past few days! Our lovemaking earlier today was much more tender then it has been in quite awhile, and he is calling me by my pet name again! And he paid tribute of JuJuBes and a sweet and romantic card! We both kind of said that we appear to have fallen back in love again, and we even joked about how annoyed we are about that!
    • Open Sexual Abuse

      My husband Charon58 is a member of this group and I will post things in support of him and to help anyone I can.
