Thank you. I completely understand about the feelings developed during online relationships. My life began to revolve around it. It is definitely a much different type of feeling. I did however learn that I was becoming someone else that I didn't want to be. I also realized that my husband is the best thing that has ever happened to me. All of the red flags also weighed on my conscience.

My husband and I truly believe that this whole event only made us stronger. I still hope he stays sober. I cannot live with my husband if he takes to drinking again, but that's a bridge I will cross if he ever goes there again. I do know one thing. No more men from so far outside of my culture for anything other than friendships.
