Dday was 2 years ago today. I remember reading posts like this in the early, painful months after dday and thinking that I would never make it. But I did.
H and I share an intimacy that we really never had, not even in the honeymoon days of our marriage. Finding out how easily a marriage can fall apart has given us both an appreciation for what we have. It's not perfect - never was - but it's ours. And we fought really hard to keep it.
I still think about it every day, especially OW. It's been 6 months since she last tried to contact H - yes, that's a year and a half of her trying to convince him that he loves her! Pathetic!
My goal for the next year is to push her out of my head for good.
That's all. Hopefully this will give a glimmer of hope to someone who's having a tough day!

This is a really nice message of hope. Thanks for sharing this! 
One of my biggest goals also is vacating any mind space that the OM is currently residing in. Making pretty good progress here, too. Best of continued luck to you.

Thank you
The fact that I know it will be at least 2 years before I'm recovered scares me but it's nice to know someone has got there and is ok

I will enter year 4 at the end of the month. Last year Dday was terrible and I do not want a repeat of that.
Fortunately the past year was much easier than the previous 2 so I am hoping Dday passed with no drama. I am keeping positive and appreciate your encouraging post. Thank you.

in R 10 years and it's working but he is putting 200% into it (as he should) to make it right again.
The truth hurts, but I have never seen it cause the pain that lies do.
