I am Thankful

[OWoman]

Omg are you serious? I just find this so funny. He didn't lie he just delayed telling her he was leaving.:laugh:

 

Yes I'm serious.

 

And if you don't understand the dynamics of abusive Rs, there are plenty of ways you can find out about it. I do hope, though, that you don't go to a shelter and laugh at the residents, since your sense of humour seems focused that way

[OWoman]

All Taken, at the expense of others OW. And now: flaunting.

 

 

Not taken - given freely, by the one whose it was to give.

Most abuse victims do not have affairs. They are too afraid to.

[silktricks]

I am thankful

 

to be alive

to be married to the man of my dreams

to be loved and cherished by that same man

to have friends to shared both my joys and my sorrows

to have an adult child who is a joy to both of us

to have grandchildren to watch enjoy life

to be able to see the sunrise and sunset and take joy in both

to watch the storms come and feel safe

to watch the growth of living things about us

to wake up each morning next to my husband

 

I am thankful

Here it is, in the OP:

 

 

Yeah and too bad it got lost in translation with about 7 other paragraphs of negativity. Who does that when preparing/having holiday dinner?

 

for the threads sake, I am thankful to be ALIVE. Anything that comes after that it is a pure blessing. I can't do anything or be anything if I am dead.

[Confused4Now]

I am thankful

 

to be alive

to be out of all the drama of the affair and have the fog lifted.

to be out of my marriage which was like being in prison for so many years

to have family and friends who supported me during the darkest moments of my life.

to have an wonderful children who still remain by my side

to have my health and not even look my age (52)

to know that my heavenly Father loves me no matter what.

to be thankful to have been given the experience of life. I'm thankful for the hard lessons I have learned that have made me the man I am today.

to be glad I worked at one place for 34 years...and still there.

 

to all the friends I've made on LS

 

I am thankful

Probably me?

 

I hate the silly season. Luckily I don't live in the US so don't have Thanksgiving on top of Halloween and Guy Fawkes and Christmas and Eid and Diwali and Channukah and New Year and Second New Year and Easter and other Eid and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgh!!! And to make it worse, there's now a Royal Wedding on the horizon, too...

 

I need a lie down...

[TinaniT]

Huh. Interesting. I know more than just myself.

 

Too afraid to leave, yes. The chance on an affair seems like the only choice to feel something you don't have to be afraid of again.

Oh that ROYAL CRAP is going to cost $50mils.

 

Hallmark does make a killing. LOL!! I hear you, I used to be jolly about it all. Now I just do it for my little one. My oldest cares less. But I AM THANKFUL that I didn't have to cook this year!

[Ms. Red]

I did. And "lied" by not telling him my plans of moving out to save my ass. (Really, that's considered a lie?)

 

Maybe I should have said, hey babe, I'm planning on moving out all in one day when you're at work. I plan to have all my stuff out by the time you get home from work and only your stuff will be in the house.

 

Yeah, that would have worked just grand. But at least it would have been the all mighty truth that we must be bound to by some peoples way of thinking.

The people that do use the abuse as an excuse and are thus no more innocent than their abuser.

I find that quite a shocking statement, would be interested to hear more.

[CrayonAngel]

Wow..this thread is really sad. I suppose GEL is waiting a few days to respond to prove she is happy enough to not be on LS everyday.

 

where did the God arguement come from? that seems to be a trend on the OW/OM forum and might be something to look into.

 

I'm sorry for anyone who is in an unhappy/toxic R. I hope that you can find peace and enjoy your holidays.

HUH I don't get it. This man was abusive to the point that you snuck away from your home when he was at work and yet you encourage a relationship between him and your son?

I never had a child with the abusive X.

 

My latest posts that you read about my son & his father were about my current ES (Estranged Husband).

ahh good thing then.

Amen to that. Almost losing someone in your life that you love very much (due to illness or whatever) really puts things in perspective.

Not likely. The MO of this poster seems to be to throw down and then bail.

My comment about those on here everyday was not in reference to the OP, it was in reference to her comment about "fishy" things.

It's my understanding that the real purpose of Thanksgiving is to give thanks to God for their blessings. I guess the question is to whom the OP is thankful? It seems the real purpose of the thread is to have a hissy fit with a little bragging thrown in. Okay, fine. She's had her say, and I hope she feels better.

 

Regardless, we ALL have things to be thankful for, and should recognize those things every day, not just on Thanksgiving Day.

I'm sorry for anyone who is in an unhappy/toxic R. I hope that you can find peace and enjoy your holidays.

Me too. And I hope you are doing well, CA!
