Eternity is so close, yet seems so far away. We have to continue to overcome and grow. Wish the situations could always be overcome together, as husband and wife every time though. Thank you for being brave and posting this, and being such a wonderful example to so many. You have obviously touched many people and given us hope and the feeling that we are not alone again.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241959736070681242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040180992163425108.post-91640462834694804082010-09-25T20:28:53.848-07:002010-09-25T20:28:53.848-07:00Thank you ladies for your kind words - this was a ...Thank you ladies for your kind words - this was a very hard post to write, let alone publish, but I have seen so many people dealing with the same issues and I have received many private e-mails detailing situations of people who have been dealing with this sort of temptation.<br /><br />To the last "anonymous" comment: No, my children aren't currently reading my blog, and if they were, they would be proud of me, I am not hiding or trying to pretend to be someone I am not. I am a real person dealing with real temptations and real life. I am not trying to be "anonymous" but thanks for caring anyway! :)Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02604787963727722166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040180992163425108.post-74487298969570638782010-09-21T18:29:35.441-07:002010-09-21T18:29:35.441-07:00You are amazing!

It is so easy to get sucked in and so hard to get out. FB is the devil! I have "de-friended" many "guy" friends on there for this very reason. You and your husband have been trough some very hard trials and I know this is a challenege but I have faith that things will be great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040180992163425108.post-80063348575197557192010-09-21T16:41:35.176-07:002010-09-21T16:41:35.176-07:00Great post, Camille!

There's something about being a mom that can make you feel overlooked, unimportant, and plain unattractive, at times. Society SO encourages women to be more selfish and it can be tempting! I'm so glad you didn't get sucked further into it like so many women do, it's so sad! Use this experience to strengthen your relationship!

I think it is tougher, more noble and better for you in the long run if you do whatever it takes to make it work.<br /><br />I think many women struggle with finding a balance between themselves and their roles as mothers (which obviously are not mutually exclusive). It is sometimes tough to see yourself outside of the "wife and mother" role and it often disguises itself as unhappiness with those roles.<br /><br />Thanks for the post. I think it will touch a lot of people and many who don't comment will be nodding in agreement, because we have been there, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040180992163425108.post-45437683308194422012010-09-21T16:13:04.267-07:002010-09-21T16:13:04.267-07:00You have taken a risk putting that "out there...You have taken a risk putting that "out there" (especially for those of us who think you both are perfect, as is your little piece of family-heaven on earth)... but I see this happen way too often. Several of my female friends have taken on single life in their late 30's and 40's because their husbands became dissatisfied when they started imagining all the things they were missing when they started exploring other (online) relationships. Thanks for taking the risk... you are brave.Tonia Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15296338887081449085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040180992163425108.post-58815683924775929522010-09-21T15:00:49.741-07:002010-09-21T15:00:49.741-07:00Camille, you don't know me but I've been f...Camille, you don't know me but I've been following your adoption story for quite some time. I'm pretty sure you posted this story for me today! For the past two weeks, I've been considering divorcing my husband of 32 years. Not because there was anyone else involved, just a continuing dissatisfaction with our lives together. We had a good long talk today and we've decided it's worth working on together. I think we can make it and your post came just a few short hours after this decision of mine. I needed to know that other women are struggling with the same issues. We have 32 years, 7 children and our first grandchild on the way, invested. Eternity is too long to not be with the ones we truly love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This probably is very disjointed. I'm still working things out in my head...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040180992163425108.post-82477657355903270732010-09-21T14:59:16.556-07:002010-09-21T14:59:16.556-07:00oh...
