Certainly we didn't go into this adventure planning for me to fall in love with someone else. It evolved slowly, and at every stage of the process, my husband and I communicated about how we were feeling. Was he hurt and upset about the changes? Yes. Did he have a choice to go along with it? Yes. He made the choice to open his heart even wider, and to support me. I believe he really KNOWS that there is no replacement for him.

The ongoing challenge for us in this new situation is finding time alone with each other, despite the fact that we have very busy lives. We're working on it!
