- I'm here, y'all. You newbies won't know me, so I'll give a quick intro:My husband of 16 years had a workplace affair. It was an emotional and physical affair. Day of discovery was, oh gosh, was it the 4th or 5th of December, 2010? I don't...
- I am here today because I have been in counseling to deal with some of my general anxiety, and my counselor shakes her head in amusement every time I go because as messed up as I feel like I am, I kind of know a lot of stuff. Anyone who has been...
- So... in parent group therapy the concept of multi generational trauma came up. A good example is that my grandfather's stepdad was an alcholic and that traumatized him into being weird about alcohol (basically, somewhere between completely...
- I feel a tiny bit guilty for not checking in more often. The fact is, who thinks about antibiotics after their infection is over? No one. You're done and you move on, right?It helped me SO much when I first joined Daily Strength to see actual...
- The problem with the new layout and with the lack of search capabilities for one's own journal is that I KNOW I have this link somewhere but I can't find it anywhere!! UGH!Somewhere, there's a lovely (if long) article on "what to do for your...
- We went to Reno (only about a two hour drive for us) and got a hotel room with a huge jacuzzi tub.Let me stress before I go on that I realize that everyone's budgets are different and each couple can afford different things. Some folks are lucky...
- Writing this here mostly because I don't have anyone else to talk to about this and I feel like I just need to emotionally puke, so for once I'm just going short and sweet:Had a dream in which one of my friends looked exactly like the OW. All of my...
- I absolutely adore Eckhardt Tolle - so there, that's on the table, but one of the reasons I feel so attached to his teachings is that I "found" him sometime after DDAY. It was through his readings and teachings that I learned of mindfulness and how...
- Went to watch, "Where to Invade Next" with my daughter. Her teacher told the class she'd give anyone who saw it and wrote a paper on it extra credit, but honestly, when my kiddo and I watched the trailer, we were both hooked on the idea of seeing...
- So...I've sort of talked about some of the back and forth discussions that my husband and I have had regarding renewing vows. I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but I stopped wearing my rings sometime after DDAY. At one point, he put them back on my...
- That moment when - you feel like asking him: "are we ok?" - not because anything is wrong or you have actual suspicious but because you suddenly are doubting yourself all over again and feel like maybe you're missing the signs so you had better...
- So... yesterday Huz and I dropped our teen daughter off to hang out with friends and took advantage of already being in town to go to a local pub to nibble and drink and hang out. It was quite lovely and quite "grown up". I say that because most...
- In the first few months post DDAY, I constantly compared myself to the OW. I compared everything from looks to motivation levels to career status to what my husband's relationship looked like with her compared to what it was with me......
- I haven't really discussed this here publicly because of privacy issues, but I don't know how to describe this with vagaries. Huz is a cop. OW is an assistant district attorney. So, yeah, work place affair - sort of - since they didn't exactly...
- Have you all seen this: http://www.infidelityspeaks.orgIt was mentioned on the Marriage Builders radio show and it really got me thinking about how much more acceptable infidelity seems to have become and how glorified it seems to be in movies, TV,...
