Thank you Lady-T for this story. I emailed it to my husband - I rarely send him things like this - because of criticisms over the past 10 years that he blames me for and "caused" him to have an affair. I chose not to give up - some call it stupid, some say I should kick him to the door and beyond - I'm sticking it out in the hopes of maybe someday he will realize what an a** he was. He does nice things all the time - I just miss the words and hugs, etc.
I'm sorry for dumping my thoughts onto the board - but this story really got to me.
Thanks for listening - tears are long gone but the heartache remains every single day.
