Ten years ago my husband had an affair. Ten years ago my world shattered under my feet and I feel like I have done nothing but try and put my life back together since that point. I wrote about the whole affair situation in the blog titled "Erin". But what I have to continually remind …

do we snuggle now
"she's going to visit her family...do you want to come for the weekend?" It was a dangerous proposition. He was married. I was still the college student who was trying to figure out my life (little did I know at that time that pursuit would be a lifetime journey). His wife was going to be …
it wasn’t a mistake
First, I want to preface that the idea from this blog came from a discussion with my bff. I hadn't thought of things from this perspective until as she was saying something it "clicked" for me. All of a sudden, I get it...and I have her to thank. Now...to be fair, it's one of the …

There was a group of friends...three couples including hubby and I. We have been friends for many years. We've taken long weekends together. We got together often. As lots of groups of three go, there was always one couple that wasn't as close as the others. That couple was pretty much me and my hubby. …
Mistress
Today's post is a hard one. It’s a story that not many know about me. It’s a story I keep hidden because it comes with lots of judgement. It comes with questions that I’m not ready to answer even decades later. I’m scared to hit “Publish”, but I told myself I was going to be …
