It’s been awhile since I posted, but my girlfriend of four years and I are getting married. I trust her completely and I realize now what an honest relationship is. There are no topics that are out of bounds, no unmentionables. We’ve had disagreements, but no arguments. She is a fully recovered BS and we deeply love each other for who we are.
We’ve told our children, they’re happy for us, next our parents (my Mom is 95!), then siblings. No date yet and COVID likely precludes a ceremony, but we’re excited to spend the rest of our lives together!
How can I trust again? It’s because this woman is really special, her heart is huge, not to mention, she’s Ivy League brilliant, beautiful, a fellow musician and shares my progressive politics.

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

I LOVE reading this! Congratulations!!!
And I hope you have a marriage like I did after being the victim of infidelity. Coming out the other side can be absolutely wonderful.
And I am over the moon for you and your love. Turn towards each other, love freely and without reserve and never get complacent!
So exciting!!!!!

There have been so many great updates here as of late. Its a good reminder for those new to the board, going thru D-Day and in the JFO forum to see that there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
Cheatee, congrats to you. Health and Happiness brother
