We are celebrating our 30th anniversary today, 30 years of a REAL marriage and with total committment on both our parts we are at a place where the love & passion for each other is beyond what we thought we could feel. It's amazing when you both put each other first, try to be the best version of yourself and make only decisions that are the best for your relationship what you can feel.
I came home today to a vase of 30 red roses on my porch. One for each year of our marriage, not just the good or faithful years, for all the years that led us to where we are today.
I want to say thank you to everyone here on SI who answered me with compassion and knowledge after my 2nd dday in October of 2011 when all the truth came out and I asked if anyone had survived this type of infidelity. I really thought I should leave then. I'm so thankful for all the support here that I have had on my journey and it has so worth it to work thru the pain to get to where I am today.
I love my husband and I am very grateful for what we have.

Strength comes from within. You can't get it from someone or go somewhere to get it. It is already here, waiting to be used when you need it most. Believe in yours

DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.
