Won't be around here much. .But I'm pleased to announce I did get remarried last August. Both of us are from past failed marriages due to cheating. Very happy and working the blended family issues. The EX ghost issue more on her mind than mine - in fact not on mine. Only on hers because of business related to kids with EX. Annulment still in process but should be approved soon according to a meeting I had late last year.
So Hi everyone!

Thank you both Smiling Wife and Miranda. I'm sure for some it is difficult to offer congratulations if your own situation has not improved. I offer my heartfelt sympathies for many in the throes of infidelity. I know and remember how hard it was. It's damn impossible to believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel that is not an oncoming train. Let me offer you some hope! It can get better. You hold the key in your hand.

Congratulations 20! It is so good to be reminded that there is light at the end of the tunnel! I'm so happy it worked out so well for you!
I think maybe you are the first one who started here and is remarried I think SmilingWife was remarried by the time she got here, and CajunRose remarried as one of us, but she started elsewhere.

Wonderful true words. While not involved in infidelity, I've found this to be very true...
Thanks for sharing, 20yrs.

SO far things are great. Lisa, my new wife is now dealing with her 70 year old mom cheating and asking for a divorce. Hard to stay out of that and not offer advice! Only thing I can say is "it's all about your mom - not you or step dad or anyone else - just her!" I try to be as supportive as possible. It gives me another perspective on how betrayed my kids must have felt by ex. Youngest still worries me but at 21 there isn't much I can do but be there and help if she asks. Have a great day folks! I'll pass through once in while.
