    <description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;TABLE border="1"&gt;&lt;TBODY&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;That's why this thread is so good. 3 months ago I would have poo pooed everyone's positive comments towards me as I couldn't see the forest for the trees. I was still carrying a lot of bitterness and if anyone ever said that I was strong or to be admired I'd have cracked and said, I'm not strong.......I have no choice but to do what I'm doing. I'm in this situation because of his....and her/their choices." &lt;BR /&gt;
 &lt;BR /&gt;
But now I can see I did have a choice. I could have easily lay down and rotted. I WAS in that dark place where every minute of every day was an effort to get through. I did, on many occasions, sit curled up in a ball on my ensuite floor away from the kids and cry and cry and cry. I could have easily chose to lose everything. The kids, the house, our home.............. &lt;BR /&gt;
 &lt;BR /&gt;
It wasn't until I recounted the sagas of this thread to a close friend that I realised infact that yes I am strong, coz I did have a choice and I chose the hard option. Hope that makes sense. I did chose to bump up my work days to make ends meet. I did chose to divorce his cheating arse. I did choose to take on the house and all the consequences of owning it...bills, maintenance, garden, upkeep....it's bloody endless, but it's mine.:8} &lt;BR /&gt;
 &lt;BR /&gt;
So to anyone that encouraged me I say thanks. And to cat for putting her misery out there for those of us who have been there done that and passed those markers she is now facing, I say thanks. To others who've posted their own tales of misery and how they've made lemonade ( or tequila shots;-))out of lemons, I say thanks. I love the whole Ok symbol and how even though we are far apart and alone, that we are united. &lt;BR /&gt;
 &lt;BR /&gt;
I'm sorry for your misery cat, but I hope you can see the positives it has inconsequently bought about with it and I even hope Nonads can find some positives out of it all too.&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Cyn this post moved me to tears. &lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
What a strong, generous spirit you are. Your journey speaks of the resilience we all have, but hope we never need draw  upon.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
A good friend of mine met the challenge of a cheating spouse about 4 years ago. It's been a roller coaster journey, but I get a such puffy heart for her...we were talking a few weeks ago and she said how pleased she is that he left, as the life she is living now is more than she ever imagined could have in relationship with him. Then she went on to say that she wishes him happiness in his life.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
To me, that is real healing.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Many blessings ladies &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt;</description>

Wello I used to know &lt;I&gt;someone&lt;/I&gt; who didn't like the thought of having a small dog and thought dogs should be outside all the time. &lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Well that little fella is tiny, hangs around inside with us, sleeps in my laundry and sometimes ON MY BED!!! So ]:):-p to you.</description>

      <description>Cat, I hesitate to give advice - as opposed to support - but I just have this gut feeling that telling the skanks husband - appealling thought the idea must be from your point of view - is not the way to go.&lt;BR /&gt;
There is an old Yorkshire saying, 'When in doubt, say nowt.' Once something has been said it cannot be unsaid and you have no way of foreseeing what the repercussions might be for him, his family or for yourself.</description>
