Best day in a year!

Not sure why, but yesterday was my best day in a year.  1 year since she really started to hang out with the 0/10.   Not sure if she is in the picture anymore. 

A combo of no beer for a bit, hitting the gym and hiking.  Realizing it isn't my fault and there is nothing I could have done.  Realizing I must be a strong person.   Still going to be a roller coaster.  Simple as that. And I also haven't seen or heard her for a couple of weeks.  Realizing the woman I married is gone.  Long gone.  Felt great to have that horrific feeling out of my body for a day!!!!!!

Re: Best day in a year!

Support and advice.  Knowledge is power.  Some great people in my life including the great people on here.  Been an awful year, and a bad 4 months since disclosure.   I have a great family and some great friends.  Home life is challenging with my son, and we need winter to end to get him out more.  She is going to take $450 a month from me even with the kids split 50/50.  Not seeing her has helped so so much.  I will not let her ruin me even though I am a shattered man.  And yes,  I was tricked and used.  Simple as that.  My daughter perhaps the love of my life ( dads with daughters will understand).   Such a sweetheart.  My son and I have a great time fishing and biking.  He will me a good man one day.  Life has to go on.  I know this will take a long time to recover from.  Just turned 40 and moved and so on.   For a person like me who does better without change I am doing well.  She said I look like the Count so I must have something going on!!!!!  Funny!
