    • About Me

      Single, adventuresome woman that makes the most of life. I'm pretty happy with who I am. I enjoy good friends, a loving family and a marketing job that inspires and challenges me. I love doing anything physical, and take advantage of the ocean and mountains around me. I'm an aspiring chef, enjoy good food, wine, music, theatre, and foreign travel.

      Thanks that was really nicely said...yes he is doing all he can as he really went from the top of the perfect H tower to the bottom when he went through what he did. I'm finally seeing him as a loving person again and that is a start as we both want to make it together. Thanks for your kind words!

    • Close Infidelity

      I'm struggling with forgiveness toward my cheating boyfriend. I've given us the opportunity to heal & assess a future together, but I wake up each morning feeling sad & angry ... It's been 5 months since his affair ended. He says he loves me, but avoids conversation that would allow me to heal. I'm struggling through the my healing process. His "being here," is not enough to repair the damage. Not sure when or how I'll come to a final decision.

      Treatments

      Forgiveness Too Soon to Tell
      I feel like my forgiveness hasn't yet been earned by him. He's present, but doesn't communicate enough.
      Leave Somewhat Helpful
      I left him for about 5 weeks, and made a decision to return to the relationship and try a fresh start.
    • Close Healthy Relationships

      I'm a great girlfriend. Really. But sooner or later, as I have these long-term relationships, the men do something unforgiveable, like cheat, and I have to start all over again. Would love to be married to the right man and start a family. I believe in love, happiness, hard work and faithfulness.

      Treatments

      Patience Somewhat Helpful
      Patience has been critical in that I won't allow myself to fall victim to fighting when my cheating S/O gets defensive. Because his conversational/emotional skills are limited, my patience is necessary to work through things. Sometimes I feel like I'm training him, so that his next GF will benefit. I hope that my hard work will pay off for ME someday!
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      friends can only hear the problems for so long. If I want happiness, I'm trying to project it, even on my bad days, so good things will happen.
      Running Working / Worked
      staying healthy helps me to feel good about myself
    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Partner/Spouse

      Dated a man for 6 years, long distance. We decided to marry and he suddenly died at age 33 of a heart attack. While packing his things, I found evidence of affairs. I was crushed, as I rearranged my life and moved to a new city for my life with him. I've moved forward now, but resent that he took such advantage of me.
