My boo has been away for 10 years now and I left him one time in the past...have you ever left him and if so how did you feel afterwards...my life went downhill and so did his...since we got back on track everything has brightened up and changed for the better.

me too. well in july 99 i knew that my husband was going to get a letter by an old friend. I had this feeling and told him on the festival. he said what makes you say that? i said you know i get these feelings that come true. well, 2 weeks later he told me he had a visit from his first love. i said what? but i wasnt mad...
so a week later the hospitality lady comes up to me and says i have to talk to you and it was a week before my trailer, august 18, 1999. i will never forget this.
carol goes chris, your husband has been having visits with that lady, she was coming up during the week and staying overnight at the hotel ... they are getting very lovey dovey she said to me.. so i went in the visit furious. that visit sucked. the trailer sucked. by sept/oct i knew it was time to leave. i was cheating, he was doing whatever, i ran into her one visit of course i went in, he was in keep lock for 30 day because she bought him a watch and tried to sneak it in...
anyway, it was time to leave and start thinking about me. even though we loved each other we were letting other people/things come between us. my husband over dosed in november 99 and almost died. i went to see him in dec 99 and told him i am leaving for work to chicago for 4 months then to california for a while. i was given an opportunity at a new job and couldnt pass it up. he was off to the box for the whole year of 2000... i wasnt planning on visiting him for a long time. i will never forget the look in his face when i saw him on that visit. i dont know what was going on.
all of 2000 i kept on writing. the nights were hard, the weekends rough thinking she is there but at upstate it was every other weekend visit. i forced myself up all night and sleep with taking tylenol pm during the day to wake up at 4pm and say the visit is over, my girlfriend sat by my side waiting for me to wake up and get ready. she was there for me. debbie told me you and your husband have a rare special love but you guys are on the wrong paths. in 2001 when i came back to new york my husband was back in the box because of an incident in elmira, i started to visit from jan to july. he said chris, i never stopped loving you and me never stopped loving him.
we are so much in love now that never again will this happen, we found each other once again, stronger than ever..

No, I have never left Travis. I don't think I ever could.

I once left my husband Stanley and my life also went down hill. I think I left for the feeling of wanting to be with some one that could always be there for me.. But after I left every thing went to hell. I became the most confused person ever. I was so deppressed we finnally came back together and now we no if we can get through this we can truley get through anything. I am sposed to be with stanley he is part of me I dont remember life before him and i couldnt imagine life without him..

My boyfriend and I have broken up for a day or two a few times over the past 6 years, but we decided each time that we don't like our lives without each other. As of last June (when we got engaged) we're all done with the breakups. We've worked hard on being able to communicate and argue effectively so we don't reach that point anymore.

I have mixed feelings about staying with him as a girlfriend. He got sentenced in January to 15 years to life parole after 15 years. We met in Feb 2003 and we got along great and it came to a great shock to learn about all that has happened. I thought he was the one. I did go thru all the steps of grief I have forgiven him and I have stuck by him but I figured I was staying by him as a friend. I do still have strong feelings for him and it is hard to imagine life without him I guess I just have to live one day at a time and see what the future holds. I can't imagine my life without him at all we have grown much closer since all this first began. It's like if we only knew what we know now our realtionship would have been so much better it wasn't bad to begin with but I know that he regrets taking me for granted and not giving me all that I deserved. I have learned lots and changed for the best. I still don't know what to do at this point. I guess I have to lean on God and live one day at a time. Thanks for listening. Sonja

Thank you all for your responses
