I'm not entirely sure what I expected when I started this blog. I truly believed that it was just going to be a way for me to rant privately, like a diary, only I don't smear ink on my hand writing.
I knew that there was a possibility that someone might stumble upon the blog at some point, but I doubted that anyone would actually be interested in my mental breakdown. Blogs that ooze sensually written erotica are much more compelling than my marital angst.
But surprisingly, my first post produced not just a reader, but a couple of comments and a follower, too.
Over the last few weeks, I've had more people reading my blog, quite a few comments, and a couple more followers as well. Before this happened, I never would have guessed how much I appreciate a few words left at the end of a blog. I expected to get some sort of catharsis from writing, but the comments are actually what have made me feel the best.
I didn't realize until recently how alone I felt after DH's affair. There are only 2 people in my real life who know about something that has become one of the most pivotal events in my life. One of them knows very, very few details, and the other lives 2000 miles away and I haven't seen her in person for over a decade.
Knowing that there are people out there who are interested enough in my story to come back to my blog just to hear me ramble makes me feel a little less invisible. Reading the comments makes me feel less alone.
So, thank you for coming and being a tiny part of my psychiatric break. I appreciate your support as I rebuild my life.

Actually, this is better than the erotic writing. There are so many people going through this same stuff, you can't be alone. Being a dude I could only wonder what women go through, seeing your visceral views is eye opening. Plus, I've always wondered how therapy works. Keep up the good work!
Oh honey. I know I come from, intuitively, the completely wrong position here (being An Other Woman and all), but I just wish you all the best in the world. I hope that blogging and others commenting continues to be healing for you.
I'm glad you appreciate the readers. I, for one, appreciate your blog. I think I'm sort of in the same boat as you -- I didn't really expect anyone to read my blog...
I really just set up the account to comment on other blogs, and then , on an impulse, threw up a few posts. Frankly, it's kind of freaking me out that people are reading and commenting on mine :) But I'm happy to read and comment on yours -- I do hope it makes you feel less alone :)
No, you are not alone in this blogosphere.
I tune in to hear how your are every few days, because even though I don't know you, I care. I care because you have bared your soul and poured your heart into your posts.
Like Ms. I., I have wondered if my presence here is inappropriate, so thank you for allowing me to read, post and for the replies you have shared to my inquiries.
Take care!
BTW: I forgot to say--if you do ever feel that my presence is inappropriate, or you would rather I not read or comment, just say the word. I want to be respectful of your space and though I find your story poignant and meaningful, I also don't want to intrude.
@ jh0 - I know a lot of people have gone through this, but it's still hard to not feel alone.
@ Ms. I - Thank you for your good wishes. It doesn't bother me at all that you read and comment. I read your blog too, and I think you are a fabulous writer. I started reading infidelity blogs to try to understand the thought process involved in cheating on a spouse, and I came to the conclusion that like all of life, everyone's reasoning is a bit different. I don't blame you for the decisions that my husband made, and I meant it when I said that I appreciate all the comments I have received.
@ hoodie - Your blog has become one of my very favorites to read. I am pulling for you.
@ Suburban Hotwife - Thank you for caring, I really do appreciate it. Your presence here is not at all inappropriate. I'm not very sure of your story, because you have been on a blogging hiatus for a while now, but your screen name suggests to me that your husband is aware of and fine with any extramarital activities. I don't have a problem with people deciding on non-traditional rules for their marriage. And if I'm wrong in my guess about your lifestyle, I still don't have a problem with you reading my blog. I am glad that you are interested enough in my story to keep coming back.
