I have never regreted joining BWS or pouring out my woes. In real life I have regreted telling too much. When my 'dramas' happened I was not with it at work. I am in a high profile job and felt I should explain myself to my boss, a lady, who appeared sympathetic. However BIG mistake. She is older, always been single, now seems to view me as a complete dunce. For those who don't know, I chose to stay married when my husband wanted to leave. He would have left if he truly wanted that. He is not the sort to be coerced into anything he does not want to do. However, some of my friends thought I was a saint, and others like my boss, thought I was a dimwit!! So, I actually find this forum a safe haven to express myself, because there are no real life repurcussions, well that is not entirely true, the support here is constant and that has given me so much strength.
I would actually be interested in Michelle's views on 'women who stay with men who stray' - that is the title of a book I have borrowed from the library in an attempt to understand myself better!! I wonder if I should start a thread with that theme??
