Taking a break

I just got some time away from work to read the responses of a few regular readers, and am just letting you know I'm taking a little break from the blog. I'm finding it a bit tough to read lot of stuff saying I'm lying about who I am, and have changed. Like I said in my previous post, I realise the original post I wrote was a bit harsh, and I thought I'd responding to your queries as best I could. Sadly, this is obviously not the case, so I'm going to take some time out.

I doubt my views on infidelity will change.Those views come from my own personal standards and beliefs.But that does not mean I should not be constantly questioning those things about myself.So if it's any consolation reading your blog and similar ones is helping me do that and it's also helping me question if I am working hard enough to see things from the other side even if I don't agree.
Anyway hope you are back soon and that we will be able to challenge each other ( in a healthy and respectful way ofcourse) in the future

It is unfortunate that you feel you need to take a break, but do what is best for you. I too have felt that way after a few harsh comments, but thanks to fellow bloggers, they encouraged me to carry on! The blogland is our outlet and we have to remember not everyone will agree or disagree with what we have to say or do. We are not looking for any affirmation, we are just sharing our lives and time looking to gain some perspective etc. Another word of advice I received was to block certain people who comment and cause us angst! (you either block or preview or something, I am not fully up on all the blog techie stuff).

I hope you reconsider...or at least take a wee break, not a long one.

I usually read your blog and enjoy it. I'm sorry that you seem to have been driven off from your blog because of people's comments.

I hope you come back someday soon. Your blog, your world, your comments. You shouldn't be the one to go away as you're not forcing anyone to read your blog.

However, tough love my dear as despite some of the recent harsher comments, their sentiments are indeed true.

I too am on IE and I've been using the site for over 2 years. I'm not proud of myself but I've met 32 men and had sex with 9, that's a lot of men for someone who loves her husband.

It is very easy to lose all perspective, like I did on many occasion and become consumed by the whole IE double life. It is totatally the wrong thing to do and remain happily married. I am better controlled and balanced.

Appearing on TV and radio is a no no when you're planning to stay married but it is easy enough to get carried away as you did. I would imagine it is even worse for you with your new IE pals. Unless you are financially involved with IE (and I assume you are an affliate through earning money from people joining then through your sites). However, it is their full time money spinning business and your life.

Please do come back someday soon and I hope you take the break to re-think what you really want from your life and your marriage.

No one is saying that your reasons for having an affair are not understable, however, doesn't mean that affairs should be so easily acceptable as to be the advocate for it on TV and radio. It should be discreet and private, OK as private as an anonymous blog can be.

Take care, good luck and come back soon.

I've just discovered your blog after a difficult breakup with my long time lover. It was much the way you and James seemed to be. I'm married, he's married, he's got four little ones. Conventionally it sounds awful, but we were in love.

It was only a few days ago he decided he wasn't able to continue on as baby #4 has just arrived. Neither of us have any intention of leaving our spouses, and I knew that this was where things would end, but that doesn't make the pain any more bareable.

I read the entire blog in 2 days and it has really helped me to gain some perspective and realize that I am not in as hopeless and lonely a situation as it first seemed.

So in closing, thank you for your inadvertent help. I fear I would have drown in my uncontrollable urge to text him without your blog to distract me. Thank you.
