WOW… Its been 9 months since my last post. Thats like FOREVER in blogging! I guess that must mean that things are going well, so well that I no longer need the crutch, the lifeline that was my blog in the early days. Yes and no.
I’m still here.
My husband and I are still together.
Life, for the most part, is pretty good.
I still have days where I spend far too much time thinking about the affair that rocked my world.
I still have days where I fantasize about some pretty awful things happening to the pit faced whore.
And I still have days when I hate my fucking husband for what he did to us, to me.
But I have more good days than bad. And that is such an improvement over the early post D Day weeks and months when it seemed that I would never have a whore free minute for the rest of my life.
I have stayed away from the blogging world for a number of reasons, none of them particularly intentional but reasons nonetheless.
Firstly I had logged myself out of my WordPress on my laptop and typing a comment on my phone was hard enough, there was no fucking way I was going to attempt to try and type an actual post LOL!
Secondly there really hasn’t been too much to say. There have been many nights where I have laid in bed mentally writing a post and that has been good enough for me.
Thirdly I have made some pretty awesome changes in my life, namely surgery. I had a gastric sleeve back in March. I have subsequently lost 65 pounds since then and I have spent the last 4 months concentrating on me. And I fucking rock! I feel like a new woman. I look better than I have in years. I feel healthier than I have in years and I weigh less than I have since before I met my husband. Granted, my body is not that of the 18 year old I was when we first started dating but then neither the fuck is his.
And what of the whore? I guess she’s still out there either living in her crappy marriage, fucking someone other than her husband, or maybe she’s actually realized that she almost broke up her family and is making a go of things with her husband. I have no clue. Apart from a single stalking episode of her sisters FB page where I found pictures of her at Christmas playing Pie Face (and yes I did have a moment where I imagined her pit face covered in my husband’s cum rather than cream) I have no idea what has become of her. And nor do I really care. I have still not contacted her husband despite my best efforts. The number i had for him appears to be incorrect and unless I call his place of work and see if they will put me thru to him, I have no other way to contact him. I still believe that he deserves to know what a sad pathetic low life he’s married to and I am still of the opinion that I will one day be the one to let him know. But to be honest I’ve been so busy concentrating on me, I’ve had little time to think of her. And thats a good thing right??
My husband is still pretty attentive. There are still things that he’ll say that will remind me of the affair and he’ll have no idea that they have, and honestly most of the time I don’t bother to tell him. I guess he says them because he doesn’t associate them with the whore and the affair and I guess thats a good thing. He has been very encouraging about my weight loss journey and has done all he can to help despite me constantly telling him that when I reach goal I’ll probably dump him and then go and find myself someone new, someone with less baggage! Because of course, having been cheated on I would never find someone before I had dumped his lying, cheating ass!! Despite this he has remained encouraging and I really appreciate that.
We are still reasonably happy but my feelings towards him have definitely changed. Yes I do still love him but it’s different now. That special something has gone and I don’t think its ever coming back. He’s damaged goods. Much like a broken vase, you can stick it back together, it can still look pretty good up close, it can still hold water and flowers but its specialness has gone. Even if you keep it, it’s just not special anymore and that’s kind of how I feel. Some days I’m even pretty detached and my husband has noticed my detachment. I don’t know why I’m like that. Whether the time and distance from D Day has anything to do with it or whether my weight loss and new found confidence has a role to play I don’t know but its definitely there. And I really don’t mind. I like not being so dependent upon him for my happiness… I mean really, how can the closest person to you in the entire universe do something like that and still be your moon and stars?? They can’t. And because of that I have days where I feel pretty lonely but I’ve gotten used to it. I’ve always enjoyed my own company, thankfully!
I have told 3 people of my husband’s affair since I found out and all were in the last 9 months… the shrink I had to see in order to qualify for WLS, my new Dr and my best friend. That was pretty huge for me. They are the only 3 people in the entire world apart from my husband and the whore that know. I told my Dr when I went to get a pap. It had been 6 years since my last one… I know, I know… don’t judge me!! Anyway I asked her if I would also be tested for HPV. She asked why and so I told her. She was very nice and said I would be tested. Thankfully everything came back clear which was a relief. I don’t know why I told my best friend but I did and I’m pleased I did. She said she had wondered whether something was up… guess I’d been liking too many of those posts we all see on FB! Her husband had an affair many years ago and they are still together, altho not particularly happily. Anyway she was devastated that I hadn’t told her and that I had dealt with the aftermath on my own but I explained that I had very quickly found an online community that had gotten me thru those first weeks and months 🙂 I told my husband I had told her and he was pretty sheepish around her the first time he saw her afterwards and she told him that she knew and that she was really disappointed in him and quite honestly, it made me feel better.
Today we get on well. Our sex life is better than it was pre D Day but not as great as those first few heady months afterwards but thats fine. Like I said I’ve been concentrating on me and if he doesn’t like that, well, tough shit. I have some excess skin that bothers me and at the moment probably have as many body issues because of the skin than I did when I was heavier. I may have looked like a balloon but a deflated balloon looks so much worse BUT I have every intention of having skin removal surgery once I get to where I want to be, which should be only a matter of months now 🙂 My husband says the skin doesn’t bother him but then he said the fat didn’t bother him and he still went and fucked some skinny pit faced whore so its no wonder I don’t believe him!
The trust in him has never really returned. I still don’t trust him further than I can throw him. Do I think he’d have another affair? Probably not, but then I never dreamt he’d have one in the first place so what the fuck do I know? He’s pretty transparent these days, much more so than pre D Day but once bitten, twice shy. I trusted my husband implicitly and he broke that trust, I just don’t think I want to give it to him again. I don’t think he deserves it. He certainly didn’t value it before.
We went to our first wedding a couple of months ago. I listened intently to the vows, vows I’d heard a hundred times, but this time I actually HEARD them. I listened as my niece promised to remain faithful to her husband and he to her and I so wanted to tell them their chances weren’t great, that theres a good chance that one of them will cheat on the other in the years to come but of course I kept quiet. Hopefully they will love each other enough not to cheat. They will stay true to each other… unlike my husband. It was painful to watch and to remember but I’m rooting for them and hope they make a better go of staying faithful than my husband did.
He mentioned the vow renewal again recently. We’ll see. I have no desire to renew them at the moment. After D Day, I would have done it like a shot, now, blah… whatever… not sure what that says about my current frame of mind LOL! Indifference is how it can best be described I guess. Maybe once I’m done on my weight loss journey I’ll feel differently, maybe I wont, guess we’ll just have to wait and see, altho I do need to get all my rings made smaller as they are barely staying on at the moment. Maybe it’ll do me the world of good to get a new one!
And so I will leave you there, all caught up on my story. I know how annoying it was back in the day to devour someones story from the very beginning only to have it stop dead, before the end. Being left to wonder whether they made it. Did one of them die? What the fuck happened??? So I will try to post every so often just to let anyone who cares know how I’m doing. Whether we are still, in the words of Charlie Sheen, “Winning!” And of course I will continue to check up on how you are all faring in the quagmire of post D Day infidelity. What a club we all belong to. Its like the worst fucking club ever, with the best fucking people!
For now I think we’re winning. We are still together, we have more good days than bad, we like each other’s company, there’s just this elephant sized pit faced whore that I sometimes catch a glimpse of in the corner of the room and then I find myself retreating into my safe place. Gotta dust those fucking corners, you never know what’s lurking there!
