Yup; it's d-day antiversary time and life is pretty good 
Not where I want to be but not too shabby either. I've made lots of good friends because of this debacle--I call that a win. Newbies will hopefully come to understand the power of SI.
Thank you, SI, and thank you friends. 
You are important and you matter. Your feelings matter. Your voice matters. Your story matters. Your life matters. Always.
Me: FBS (no longer betrayed nor a spouse)-63
D-day: 2007 (two years before finding SI)
S: 6/2010; D: 3/2011

It's my life now, my choices, my mistakes to make and my victories to celebrate. His choices made me free of liars and betrayers in my life. That is priceless.

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

Thank you. I really needed to read this tonight. I'm a bit less than two years out, and am looking for the day when the pain is behind me and I can say that life is good. Until then, I'll settle for 'getting by.'
I am so happy for you!!

True happiness comes from within, not from someone else. Don’t make the mistake of waiting on someone or something to come along and make you happy

Awesome post SAZ! I'm at 2 1/2 years from DDay (yesterday) and doing way better than I was progressively, and the SI folks are a constant inspiration.
