FYI - I did the right thing..

For those of you that read the boards and know me in person, you are well of my cir****tances in my marriage situation.  I wanted to let you know that my friendship with my ex-boyfriend is no longer a secret from my husband.  I told him about it yesterday.  He took it really well and said that he trusted me being his friend but that I had to start trusting him with his friends that are female.  This is gonna be hard to do after all that he did. But, I guess it has to happen sooner or later.  I know that some of you may have been put in strange situations when my ex would join us for activities.  I apologize for that so much and I appreciate you patience.  I will continue this friendship with the ex with my husband's knowledge and approval.  It is a huge a relief off my shoulders.  I had nothing to hide but I felt I couldn't tell him.  I prayed and prayed before telling him and felt God's presence with me when I was telling him.  Thanks again to everyone.  I love each and everyone of you very much and couldn't have made it through this most difficult time in my life without you guys.  We are far from done with this situation (this week has been terrible) but what will be will be and I will make it through whatever the outcome.  I love you all. Rachel

Rachel,    I am so proud for you.  Not because of what anyone else might think, but because you were brave and you trusted your husband enough to trust you (not sure if that makes sense, but maybe you know what I mean).  You are such a special person and have been so strong to handle this.   Big hugs, Mary

Wow Rachel that was huge!!!  Here is a big{{{{{{{hug}}}}}}} for you!!  I have missed you!!!

Rachel, you have come so far and I am so proud of you. I don't know what I would have done in your situation but I pray that I would have the courage and stamina that you have had. I love you and I am sending a ton of love your way  Hang in there.... trust in the Lord. He will help you through this.  I am always here for you my friend.  Pam 

Good for you Rachel...thats a big step in the right direction....kinda like racewalking; its very hard to do and not everyone could do it-but taking the first step is the biggest obstacle...congrats

Good for you!!   I know you must feel so much better.  As as much as I hate to admit it, your husband is right.  If you are going to work on your marriage and he is going to trust that your friendship with your ex is just that you need to trust him.  But trust him with your eyes open.  You see any of the signs before, confront him!   You need to talk to you know where to find me.
