Gentlegirl Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Hello Everybody, Checking in after 6 months NC. My life is taking off in lots of new directions. I am busy and happy and very much at peace with myself. I do still think of MM when I'm not too busy doing other things and when I'm going to sleep occasionally. There are no feelings of love or desire left. IN my thoughts I marvel that I was actually doing what I did for 3 years! Where was my brain, my common sense?????? It was like a 3 year long circus, and hindsight is a wonderful thing. The freedom from the isolation and the emotional pain is fabulous. The damage is repairing quickly and I am ME once more. There are great benefits to be had from staying NC. It takes time to reflect on the A . Gentlegirl Link to post Share on other sites
YellowShark Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Nice to hear you have rediscovered yourself Gentlegirl. I think you are a perfect example of the serious costs and emotional baggage that comes with living in a love triangle, (see: affair.) Now that the "fog" has lifted and you have time to reflect, isn't it amazing how you do really lose yourself when you are seduced into a unhealthy relationship. Good luck, and look out single Auzzie men! Link to post Share on other sites

lynne76 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 That's great to hear Gentle Girl. I hope I have a similar story to share six months from now. Can I ask how old you are? How old was your mm? Link to post Share on other sites
Breezy Trousers Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 So happy for you, Gentle Girl! I agree that it takes time and distance away to gain perspective. Link to post Share on other sites

Author Gentlegirl Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Everything you said is true. At 63 and he was 68 you'd think that we'd know better. Lunacy can strike at any age so BEWARE all you senior citizens! (only joking). Look out Aussie blokes too. Gentlegirl Link to post Share on other sites
