    About Me

    I am a mother of two wonderful sons. I teach high school students with learning difficulties. I am recently divorced as my husband decided to pursue some online dating relationships. It was a devastating blow, but it's given me a new lease on life and what really matters. A blessing in disguise, I suppose. :)

    Interests

    Reading, movies, and currently a bit of construction as I am trying to single-handedly finish my basement!

    • Open Infidelity

      My husband used some online dating services to meet women (unbeknownst to me) and created a MySpace site to network with them. This evolved into an online relationship with a woman including cell phone calls and text messages. I discovered all of this after he left me to fly down and spend the weekend with her. He has now been carrying on a two month full-fledged fling with her. He calls sometimes saying how sorry he is, but his relationship with her continues.
