I hope now=you can find true happiness without having a relationship with someone else=s husband. I really hope you do. I'm not a person who likes to see other pe=ple suffer, no matter what hurts they may have caused. I am not gleeful abo=t your loss. Reid says he always wanted to just be friends with you, but I Pink he understands because of your (plural) behavior and the damage you hav= both caused to our marriage and family, that can probably never be. l=hear from many people (who don't know what's gone on) that you and I would b= great friends. I wish I could say I hope that happens someday, but I'm the=kind of woman who loves the sisterhood, not women who sleep with and fall i= love with someone else's husband or significant other, no matter how willi=g the man is to have his ego stroked and no matter how swept away you are b= feelings of some kind of deformed mutation of love. I just don't see that k=nd of friendship EFTA_R1_01623589 EFTA02498273 between us in the cards. However as I told Reid befo=e he picked up the phone to call you, if he could urge you to suck up your h=rt feelings and send me a sincere apology for participating in an arrangeme=t that caused damage to Reid, to yourself, to me, and to our (who h=s been fighting tears all weekend because of his mother's pain and because h= sees the father figure he has admired his whole life as a weak man who has=lied and cheated to his mother)....if you can find it in your heart to ask f=r my forgiveness, I would want very much to forgive you and see you in a li=ht different from the one I have seen you in for years. Perhaps you aren't a=are....Reid has told me about his addiction to you before and has asked for=my help to break it. He finally found the power to do it because of the dep=hs of his misery and unwillingness to proceed through life as a dishonorabl= 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 pho=e as quickly as you did (which I perfectly well understand) he would have t=ld you this. Reid and I have a lot of work=to do together to fix the mess you two have caused, but our love is very st=ong and we will get there. I honestly don't want to add to your hurts by ma=ing you think you have destroyed our marriage on top of everything else. I c=n't imagine you would have rejoiced had that been the case. You haven't des=royed our bond so no worries on that front. It must be hard for you t= understand 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 y=u, 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 weakne=ses. That doesn't make him a monster and I don't think you are either. Best wishes for your future, Ch=ryl Gould PS Bob Bauer, a dear friend to m= and to Reid, cares about you a great deal. He might be a good person for y=u to draw strength from. He has been a source of comfort and wisdom to me t=rough this. He truly is a wonderful man and I have no doubt he would show y=u great kindness.
