Thanks!
Ric is something special...and just for the record, it's not a rebound thing either. He makes me laugh...which is something I haven't done in a long time. How sad is that? He's so dang funny though...my sides hurt when I get off the phone with him!


Now, I'm just hoping that our meeting will go good today! I'm sure it will, but I'm nervous & anxious. My body is doing some rollercoaster feelings today!

You go girl , you go girl
you go girl
That was very brave of you to do that , I know it hurts bad and it will for a while . But in time there will come healing , peace and joy back to you . But the good news is , he wont be able to hurt you any more . Now you can go on with your own life , weather it is working out with Ric or not , but you are free from all ... and that what counds

Shell, I am really glad you made that decision. You are such a sweet person, you deserve more than a lying, married man. Good for you, I know it had to be difficult, but you did it. Maybe that will give you the closure you need, since you were the one who decided not to see him.

Aww..thanks Kellye! I've always have beaten myself up for being the "mistress" and that always killed me inside. I've learned the hard way from my actions & his, so it did make me a better person. But thanks for the sweet words!

Yay Shell! You did the right things and I'm so proud of you! I know how hard it can be, and it takes a strong person to do what you did. I hope your "date" with ric goes well. Good luck!

Shell - it sounds like you made the smart move, but I am sure that it did hurt. I have always known that you were a strong woman and you just proved it again today. You deserve all of the happiness in the world. Good luck with Ric!

Hi Shell,
I just saw this thread & was so worried for you...some men just have an aura, something about them that you just can't resist, and you go back again & again, even though you KNOW better, and you KNOW you deserve better.


I'm so proud you didn't go meet him and told him off like he deserves! You go girl!

I'm sorry you have to go through that pain though...it really stinks, but now you're finally finished with it.

You deserve a really good man.


Go out and have some fun today!


(((((((hugs)))))))

I just saw this thread, and I want to say I am so proud of you! I have been there, done that, got the scars to prove it, and it is no way to live. I wish the best with Ric. Have fun!

Shell:

I am just seeing this now, and honestly, I haven't read the entire thread. I did get enough up to speed to see that you have told Bill to take a hike.

Good for you! That was EXACTLY what I was going to say: Do not, under any circumstances, go through with this meeting. If he is a weakness for you, then avoid him like the plague. This guy is not getting divorced. He wants to get you back in a place where he can play you.

Focus on Ric, and frankly, the hell with Bill. I wouldn't have any further contact.

Oh Shell I started out so worried in the beginning of this thread and so sad that such a great person is being tormented by such a jerk and then I got to where you called him and said you couldn't meet and I wanted to jump for joy!!! What a major step for you to rid yourself of that and move on in your life and be happy! I am so glad you found the strength to do that! Hugs to you!!!!!


(Also waiting to hear how the date with Ric went!
)

Good for you, Shell. Sending that two-timing butthead packing was the best thing that you could do.

Don't forget - we want dish about your date with Ric!
