THANK YOU barbara465!!!!!...I got my package earlier in the week but thought I would wait to open it...lol...The suspense was killing me but my husband told me to go ahead and open it today...I got the CUTIEST dish town that say's "Cafe' Mom"...LOVE IT...And a bottle of hand soap that is scented "cupcakes and cartwheels"...Since we can't eat them at least we can smell them, as barbara puts it......Sorry I waited so long to thank you but wanted to wait...Again....THANK YOU very much!!!!....I will post a pic tomorrow....Windy :biggrin1:

You are VERY Welcome 3loves and hubby!!!...I really enjoyed shopping for her...My husband even got involved...He enjoyed helping me...I truly hope she, well y'all enjoy everything...Being a SaHm as well I knew some things to help her relax would be great...lol...Again...You are welcome...Windy:biggrin1:

Hey TexasRose...When I became new to the dating scene, which I had never done before because I was hooked up with my ex from High School on, I too was confused by men...I felt like a fish out of water wondering what they were thinking ALL the time...After quite a few trips to Barnes and Noble I found a book that totally changed my views on dating...As a matter of fact it helped me let go of a guy that I was trying so hard to be with...Men don't really WANT to be persued...They are hunters and want to hunt for you...The most intreguing thing to a man is what he CANNOT have and a woman that is confident...Like one of the other posters said...Make yourself unavailable...Get busy...Live life...Don't just sit around and wait on him...Mr. Right may be out there looking for you and you're sitting and waiting...Wait for no man...Unless it's Matthew Maconahay, who doesn't know it yet but will be my next husband...LOL...Anyway, all kidding aside, just go out and have fun...My motto "Dance like nobody is watching, Love like you've never had your heart broken, and Live like there is no tomorrow..."...Hope some of this helps...Oh and the amazing book is DATE LIKE A MAN by Myreah Moore and Jodie Gould...Basically it is "What men know about dating and are afraid you'll find out"...Have fun!!!! Huge Hugs, Windy:biggrin1:

I am TOTALLY counting the days now!!!!...Can't wait...I think my family is getting tired of me talking about it now...And my amazing Hubby is already feeling the pains of being without me for such a long time...Poor guy...lol...Anyway...We are going to have such a great time...Looking forward to meeting everyone...Windy:biggrin1:

I was a "good wife"...And he was a "good husband"...What I didn't know is that he had a problem...As our therapist calls it...A Sex Addict...I didn't know that while he was at work, a cable guy, he was getting it on with just about all of his clients...I was always able to call and get him on his cell at the drop of a hat...How was I to know?...And he was always with me and the kids when he was off work...Perfect job for a guy like him...And he still has that job...lol...He has not gotten help for his addiction and continues to do the same thing to the women that he does try to form a relationship with...It wasn't just me...I questioned my every move after we split...Was I not good enough?...What did I do wrong?...How can I ever have another relationship if I couldn't even make this one work?...It does take two to mess it up but when you are dealing with something like this, what do you do?...Windy

Hey BigGirlPanties...Sounds like you are doing GREAT!!!! :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:...Hope you are doing even better now...Believe me in no time all this will be a thing of the past...Keep up with your amazing progress...:)Windy

The sad part of all this is that Wheetsin is right...Most women do know but don't want to or are afraid to face the downfall of cheating and what it really does to a family...I was one of those I guess...It took me realizing that I just wanted to be "Windy" again...And I knew that I would actually go crazy if I stayed with him...Funny how life kinda slaps you in the face sometimes...Telling you to WAKE UP and LOOK at what is right in front of you...But like I said in a previous post...You take from it the good and the bad and learn... Oh and his famous line to me when I would say something like "You -ucked her didn't you?!?!"...Was "Yep I did!!! HaHaHaHa!!!!"...Then we would both laugh thinking that he could never do something like that to me...But what he did tell me after it was all said and done was that "I never lied to you Windy, every time you questioned me I told you..."...Kinda sickining huh?...Oh well life is great now...Windy

LOL...Just call me Jolly Jeannie....Too funny :biggrin1:

In my first marriage that ended not that long ago, I was cheated on...It is a very devastating thing to have happen to you...The worst part of it was that noone could believe it because he was such a wonderful husband, father, friend to all, etc...Well "friend to all" was exactly what he was...We had been together for 16 years, dated 5, then married 11...High school sweethearts...We did go to different schools...But you know what I mean...Well anyway...I always had that gut feeling that he was but chose to cover up the pain with food...I was almost relieved the day he finally confessed that he had been cheating the last 9 years of our marriage...And added to that, that the first one I had almost caught him on was the first time he had cheated...I had always thought that one day he would tell me that he had...What I didn't know was the magnitude of his cheating...9 years of many women...He couldn't even tell me all their names...It was a very sad day for me...It was about 3 1/2 months after I had my surgery when everything came to light...I was getting smaller and men were starting to notice me...I never once thought of cheating on him...In my world I had everything...A great husband that loved and cherished me, 2 great kids, you name it...And a great new body to boot...I was on top of the world...Or so I thought...It was almost like I had been living in a bubble and all of the sudden it popped and I fell flat on my butt...My friends and family close to me all told me later that they had a feeling but knew how much I loved him...We were supposed to grow old together...But I guess my story wasn't supposed to end that way...I am happy to say that my life has only gotten better since then...I came away from it with a new outlook on life...I am now 140 lbs smaller...I have a wonderful new husband that I cherish...Life is good...I see that alot of people on this post wonder how you can tell if your spouse is cheating...Well all I have to say is trust your instinct and gut feelings...I don't regret my marriage at all...I wouldn't be the person I am today had I not walked down that road with him...I take from the marriage that noone is perfect...We all make mistakes in life...You take from every experience, the good and bad, and move on...Learn from them...I have rambled on long enough...lol...Windy

I had the same problems...I used to even hide and cry wondering what I had done to myself...I had a great love affair with food...And it seemed my husband at the time was having great love affairs with everyone in town...lol...Gotta laugh about it now...My therapist simply had me replace food with other things...More positive things...Eventually I changed my whole thinking on food...Now I only eat til I have that full feeling and I'm done...Good luck and It will get easier...Windy
