To you staceyboo0629 that is the most wonderful thing I've read in a very long time. That touched me profoundly. Thank you for that.
To you redrose, I have been where you are. I gave alittle over 3 years to the married man I was involved with. It can be so very painful and so very wonderful all at the same time. But my advice is the same as the others. Read the post from stacey, it's wonderul. I came on here as you did looking for advice and hurting as much as you. Some look down on us for what we have done, others, though know its wrong, give us some of the most uplifting advice. Chandlers Wish and Fallen1 were great supporters for me.
I wish I could tell you it's easy to do, but it's not. It does get easier though, and you do become stronger. As someone on here told me, remember YOUR self-worth. Don't worry about his hurts, only your own.
I hope you find strength and do what's right for YOU. Best of luck and love to you.
