I wanted to take a moment, and share my appreciation to this forum and all those who have patiently listened to me on my own journey of discovery. And actually listening to me, which at my request, asked to allowed the opportunity to do this by myself? At times I was lost, and had no idea of what I was doing, and I times I followed those of you who have shown me kindness and appreciation and your Love and support. It my own way, and without knowing exactly what I needed, was I now realize that being supportive of me, was simply allowing me this opportunity? I have vented, and spewed, and offered advise to what I know, but the entire time spent here, I was learning all along. That, was why I came here originally. Not to gain sympathy or so much as shoulder to cry on, but to learn something about myself, that I did not already know? And in that, is was mission accomplished. I said long ago when I first arrived here and had really no where else to go or turn to, I said I was a man or a mission ( if you remember ) and nothing has changed. The mission accomplished, I owe to all of you here who have helped and guided me, and made me question myself, so I could learn something and move forward from the first time I came here? My skills, in communication have improved dramatically and I learned things about myself, I would have never dreamed possible. All because of you, and everyone here who have put up with me and all my long winded posts, to get to a place where I am now, which was my goal in the first place. Whether you know this or not, I came here with one goal in mind. Improve on myself, so I could be a better partner for my wife and our relationship. And if though, our relationship has failed as of this point in time....I haven't failed in what I knew was the right thing to do, and that much I will be ever grateful, and will never forget those who have touched my life in a positive way?
Which ultimately means, you have succeeded along with me. We have succeeded, and there is no turd in my pocket this time around. More than anything else, I wanted you all to know that. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. :)

Yes, It does seem like lots of us have learned about ourselves while on this very thoughtful, sensitive board. I agree. I appreciate it too.
Same here....

Yes! the sharing, the grace, the incite....I don't know what I would have done w/o the accountability and the opportunities that have been bestowed on me the past few years here...On this community of individuals with for the most part the same desires and goals for their relationships....
It's taken me quiet a long time to start to really get it....But I finally understood the power to have a wonderful life lies w/ me...It always has; but I was just to blinded my own fear, my own neediness and my own insecurities. I was looking for it in someone else....
