Hi Everyone and NRE too(:!
I haven't been to this board in a long time. It reminds me too much of my own pain, but also reminds me of the wonderful help I rec'd here.
I started reading the posts and that old familiar question was all too obvious! WHY,WHY,WHY.
1ST I'm sorry and saddened to see all this pain.
I used to be a Cl here and left because I started to get a bad attitude. I have no desire to have a tude with any of you now, although I wish to tell it like it is.
The why's you are all asking are the same why's I had when my affair ended almost 3 years ago.
This is my personal analogy.
Having an affair is like gambling. You place your bets and most of the time you lose. Rarely, someone wins. Seldom do you walk away from the table or the machine with your winnings. The nature of a gambler is to think they are on a roll and keep playing.
I have come to realize that having an affair is the ultimate bet. It's much like playing the California Lotto Scratchers. Pay $3.00 for a ticket and win just enough to keep you playing. You never win enough to make you rich or guilt free for throwing those hard earned dollars away.
WHY didn't you win? Because you gambled on something designed to earn money for the state, not something designed to enrich the gambler.
Fun? Yes, for the moment. Lucrative? No. Possible? Yes. Odds? Million to one, maybe.
My wish for each of you is that you choose the path less traveled. The path that's full of potholes and boulders, and make your way out of the dark forest of pain to the sunny beach of hope, genuine love, and EARNED prosperity.
I have and it's a wonderful place to enjoy life.
Hurry!
Love, Sweet
