I hope now you can find true hominess without having a relationship with someone else's husband. I re=lly hope you do. I'm not a person who likes to see other people suffer= no matter what hurts they may have caused. I am not gleeful about your lo=s. Reid says he always wanted to just be friends with you, but I think he =nderstands because of your (plural) behavior and the damage you have both =aused to our marriage and family, that can probably never be. I hear=from many people (who don't know what's gone on) that you and I wo=ld be great friends. I wish I could say I hope that happens someday, but l=ff39;m the kind of woman who loves the sisterhood, not women who sleep with=and fall in love with someone else's husband or significant other, no =atter how willing the man is to have his ego stroked and no matter how swe=t away you are by feelings of some kind of deformed mutation of love. I ju=t don't see that kind of friendship between us in the cards. How=ver as I told Reid before he picked up the phone to call you, if he could =rge you to suck up your hurt feelings and send me a sincere apology for pa=ticipating in an arrangement that caused damage to Reid, to yourself, to m=, and to our sonnwho has been fighting tears all weekend because of =is mother's pain and because he sees the father figure he has admired =is whole life as a weak man who has lied and cheated to his mother)....if =ou can find it in your heart to ask for my forgiveness, I would want very =uch to forgive you and see you in a light different from the one I have se=n you in for years. Perhaps you aren't aware....Reid has told me EFTA_R1_01625616 EFTA02499318 about=his addiction to you before and has asked for my help to break it. He fina=ly found the power to do it because of the depths of his misery and unwill=ngness to proceed through life as a dishonorable man. I hope you can=find a similarly true friend who can do the same for you. I wish you well,=believe it or not. Had you not jumped off the phone as quickly as you did =which I perfectly well understand) he would have told you this. =span> Reid and I have a lot of work to do together to fix =he mess you two have caused, but our love is very strong and we will get t=ere. I honestly don't want to add to your hurts by making you think yo= have destroyed our marriage on top of everything else. I can't imagin= you would have rejoiced had that been the case. You haven't destroyed=our bond so no worries on that front. It must be hard for you to und=rstand how deep our relationship is since he has not acted that way in his=weak behavior with you. In fact, I think he felt he could act out with you= act as though his relationship with you was intense and real, precisely b=cause he knew I would be there for him. He is a great man with great weakn=sses. That doesn't make him a monster and I don't think you are ei=her. Best wishes for your future,<=r>Cheryl Gould PS Bob Bauer, a dear=friend to me and to Reid, cares about you a great deal. He might be a good=person for you to draw strength from. He has been a source of comfort and =isdom to me through this. He truly is a wonderful man and I have no doubt =e would show you great kindness.
