JR, thanks for the advice. You give great advice from a man's perspective. I think maybe H could have an addiction. He keeps everything deep inside and won't talk about his real feelings. That is a major problem in our marriage. I think that stems from not wanting to show his weaknesses, but I already know them anyway.

As far as the trust, I have caught H lying straight to my face and tell me another lie to try to get out of the lie I just caught him in. That's a problem. I don't get WHY can't you just fess up to what you are lying about, so we can get right down to our issues. Yes, with lying the trust is broken.

I am really trying hard to forgive H for all the wrongs to our family, but it's hard. I am working through these issues with God. God knows I am struggling, but in order for our M to work I will need to forgive him and H will need to forgive me too and he will need to have the desire to want to work on our M.

Thanks for the advice.
