Well I’ve been doing some thinking over the last few days and I’ve made some decisions. I’m not leaving. He asked me last night if I hate him. I said yes, sometimes, part of him. It’s true, I hate what he did, but I also love him. It was seven years ago and we’ve had a good seven years and also neither of us could bear to be parted from the kids.
However I’m going to start taking more risks. I feel like I’ve lived my life way too conservatively. I did what I was told, got a good education, went to college, got a good job, met a guy, got married, had children, blauuuugh…Boring. I want to do the stuff I’m not supposed to do. Not sure what yet, but I just mean that I want to take more opportunities that I would usually decline, and I’m not even gonna think about it. I’m gonna put myself first for a bit, do the things I want to do rather than always putting the family first or worrying about logistics.
I’ve always been worried that he would find out my little secret, but so what if he does. I don’t care anymore - it’s not as bad as what he did to me. I’ve never cheated, I’ve never lied (although arguably I’ve been a little deceitful) and I never put him though shit for 2 years. So I’ve opened up the blog again and I’m not going to make a secret of wanting to watch the L-word - even if I can’t actually watch it. And maybe I will actually ask the girl I see on the train every morning out for a coffee, and the girl in the next office too; just to see what happens. After all you only live once and life is short.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- A marriage-minded man ran naked through his Michigan neighborhood, trying to show his hesitant girlfriend that taking risks is important.
However, he got more than he bargained for when he ended up being chased and shot at.
Police in Ann Arbor, Mich., said it all started when the couple was discussing marriage Wednesday morning and the woman said she wasn't sure she was ready.
Her boyfriend tried to make his point about taking risks by jumping out the window and running naked through the neighborhood. But after jumping out of the window and running across the street, he found trouble.
A couple strolled by and a man ordered the naked suitor out of his hiding place in the bushes and started chasing him, then shot at him.
The naked man fell to the ground and suffered minor injuries.
Police arrested the gunman on charges of aggravated assault and carrying a concealed weapon. But the naked man said he didn't want to press any charges. The naked man was not arrested.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Fred Hoiberg met with doctors on Friday to discuss his recovery from open-heart surgery, but still is uncertain about trying to become the first man to play in the NBA with a pacemaker.
Hoiberg, who had surgery in the offseason to repair an aneurysm in his aortic root, said Friday night that his heart specialist laid out all the information for him, but stopped short of clearing him to play again in the NBA.
That leaves three possibilities, Hoiberg said. He can return to play this season, take the rest of the season off and try to make a comeback next year, or retire to avoid further health risks.
"The good thing now is I've done all my testing, I've seen all the doctors I need to see," Hoiberg said. "Now it's up to my family and myself to try to make the right decision on what's best for us. It's going to be a very tough decision."
Hoiberg, who led the NBA in 3-point shooting last season, had a CT scan and echocardiogram earlier this week to examine how his heart is progressing. He met with Dr. Barry Maron, a renowned specialist on athletes with heart conditions, on Friday for a final opinion.
"He didn't say yes, he didn't say no," Hoiberg said. "He just threw everything out there in front of us and told us to try and make the right decision."
Hoiberg plans to hold a family meeting next week with his parents, his wife Carol and his children to try to come to a consensus.
If Hoiberg decides to return, he could not play for the Minnesota Timberwolves, the team he has played for the last two seasons.
Owner Glen Taylor waived him under a one-time amnesty provision under the new six-year collective bargaining agreement agreed to in July, both to save money and to keep Hoiberg from trying to return too quickly.
He has served as an adviser and quasi-assistant coach for the Wolves this season, but coach Dwane Casey said he would have no problem if Hoiberg chose to play for another team this season.
"The key is his health, above basketball, above anything else," Casey said. "He's a competitive guy. Don't let that innocent look fool you. He has to weigh those things in the decision."
The 10-year veteran did not set a timetable for the decision and didn't hint that he was leaning one way or the other.
"I'm not going to rush into this," he said. "There's too much to worry about if I do make a rush decision."
