Remember the saying "Slow and steady wins the race?" Turns out it's true. Slow down at work, with your partner and just in general. You may be surprised at how much sweeter life is when you aren't looking at it at warp speed.

Answer:

Let me get this straight...a woman knowingly knew a man was married and had an affair with him and then married him? I love the saying what comes around goes around. Sounds like she certainly deserves such a loyal husband.

Answer:

I can truly understand your pain and hurt. The one thing that helper me was I finally found it in my heart to forgive him and her for what happened. God gave me that strength and after 5(six) years it felt good to get on with my life. Just keep praying for what you need to do. The Lord will always give us his answer if we listen. Always know that you are a good and loved person. Hope this helped.

Answer:

This is a really hard situation. If it were me, i'd go one of two ways. (1) Avoid them at all costs, especially since your children are adults and are free to form relationships with your ex-husband if they want to, or (2) try to embrace them and open up a dialogue with them. If they're going to be in your life and you can't avoid them, you might as well try to work out your issues with them and try to form some sort of relationship. It sounds like your ex did hurt you, and you're still hurting from it. I think if you talk about it and TRY to work things out, it will be less difficult to be around these people.
