A little humor for the board
'TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING
TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING, BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP.
I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS, I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.
THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED - THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE.
BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.
TOSSING AND TURNING IN ANTICIPATION,
THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION.
SO I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR
AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.
I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND,
'TILL ALL OF A SUDDEN I ROSE OFF THE GROUND.
I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING FLOATING INTO THE SKY
WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE.
BUT I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES
HAPPY EATING TO ALL, PASS THE CRANBERRIES PLEASE.
MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY, MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP
MAY YOUR POTATOES AND GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP.
MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS, MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS.
Happy Thanksgiving All!!!!!

Very cute Free. :D
Btw, I wanted to tell you that although I don't always agree with you, I have come to appreciate and benefit and even at times find humor in your posts.
I suppose Thanksgiving is a good time to say thankyou for taking the time to share your perspective on things.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday. :)
*hugs*
Someday
Thanks for your humor!!
My H and kids and I are putting up the tree, I am ready for tears and needed to come upstairs. I miss my xMM, feeling awful, head, stomach in knots, ready for tears all the time.
My husband is moving out next week (because of affair). We are keeping things normal for kids. I am so sad...all I can think of is him with his wife for the Holidays... I feel so selfish not focusing on the kids, but I just want to lay in bed and cry.
Your poem did make me smile. :)

Sorry your feeling so sad, Let me ask you this question - do you want to save your marriage YES\NO ?
If the answer is Yes are you prepared to do whatever it takes to do that ?

H is a very sweet guy, but he is basically 12 year old in a 47 year old body.
He is so very clueless about everything, book smart but not worldly or insightful.
H also has HUGE fear of intimacy, and NO interest in sex of any kind, never has. He told me he married me because I was best girl he ever dated (he was 38, I was 25)and wanted to have children. I loved him so much back then, I mistook his passivity for strength of character. He was my rock, then I realized you can't get a rock to love you. I love him as a brother or roomate, he seems comfortable with this relationship and very uncomfortable with any sexual advances. So I can't see how it could ever work. We tried counceling and H says he is just not into sex never will be. It came out in counceling he never looked me in the eye when we made love, he would look around the room because it made him uncomfortable. The hurt and rejection is unimaginable, and if he is not willing to change or try counceling this is unacceptable to me.
xMM is so opposite warm, expressive, intelligent, insightful, wonderful lover and oh, yeah....married to another woman. He moved out to have a future with me, then missed his kids and wants to reconcile for the kids...he doesn't love his wife, but feels this is something he must try to do for his kids, says if there is no improvement in marriage he and W agree they won't stay together just for the kids.
Hope
I suggest that you take anything XMM with a pinch of salt many promeses are given few are ever followed through on, many of them that do leave there wife often leave the OW at the same time desireing to explore there new freedom.
It seems that you keep getting involved with men that are not available emotionally or otherwise any clue way ??
Do you like to rescue little lost puppy men?

Yeah, I do pick the lost puppy men. I was a kindergarten teacher before staying home with my 2 kids. I love to be helpful, helps me feel worth something. Yet I pick these men who just are not capable of returning the emotion I invest in them. Makes me wonder???
I have been through therapy and never discussed why I choose these guys. HMMMMMM.....perhaps I will be the one to explore my new found freedom to find an available man (emotionally available) Of course I will do this when this mess is behind me and I have had some serious counceling and soul searching.
Tonight, I will lie in bed next to my roomate (H) and mourn for what might have been, I thought about putting the moves on him but this would confuse him, and frustrate me because I will be thinking of MM. So not fair to H. But I am lonely and sad now, I wanted so very much to believe I had found my soul mate...it all seemed so very perfect for a short while...back to the reality..."life is suffering". Accept it, Let it Go, Learn....and move forward. Nice advice wish I could stop crying to listen.
Thank You for listening. How did you get free or have you?

Soulmate is that the same as the lochness monster a fable.
"I love to be helpful, helps me feel worth something."
Is this the answer to way you get involved with the charity cases, if it is it seems to be the same old reason any of us got into this, "US AND HOW WE FEEL ABOUT US, not so good.
Life is suffering, life can involve suffering and some times it is the only way to grow, some times it is the only way to grow up, but suffering should not be more then punctuation marks in life not life itself.
What I got FREE from was allowing other people to decide, who I was and how I would react to the people and events in my life, someone elses behavior or attitude toward me no long dictate by actions or even my feelings about "myself" , my life is mine to make good or bad.
MY power my responsibility.
If you divorce explore that freedom, explore yourself, when your ready don't settle for any more puppies.

Free, I am a puppy-rescuer, too. On my 3rd puppy (2nd H). Thank you, thank you for what you just wrote to ahopefulfuture. It was just what I needed to hear. I have been cutting and pasting things I read on here to a doc for when I am feeling weak and need a boost of strength to get me past it. A lot has been from you. Thanks again.
