Hi John, I agree it would not be worth the risk. I'm concerned because my in- laws are the wine cellar collectible type and I really enjoyed sharing that time with them. Not sure what I'm going to do at our first dinner when I'm able to eat.- Dizzness

Hello Everyone! I'm all about finding happiness. None of us the whole entire story, so we can only give friendly advise. Vamp - I only know u a little bit but u always help everyone on here and you stated the waters were rocky from the start of your surgery. I think Mami was looking out for you in her straight forward way making sure your tried everything possible (talking, counseling etc) if you wanted to save your marriage. But, we don't know if that was your goal. Also. If you are getting divorced I would not want your husband accusing you of having an affair possibly measing up alimony etc. . Just something else to think about. I'm so glad Kevin posted online!!! He seems like such a nice guy an this may be happening for both of you guys for a good reason. I think people were thinking about the kids etc and trying to be helpful with good or bad things you may or may not wanted to hear. I think both of you guys are valuable to the group and sharing this experience may help someone going through the same situation who may not be able to speak about it. Also please people.
