My sixth thread was titled "kavikratu" which means one who possesses wisdom or sacrifices, full of discernment, having wise designs, having the insight of a wise man or fully wise insight.
My eighth thread was "Ksanti" which means exercising patience toward behavior or situations that might not necessarily deserve it and is seen as a conscious choice to actively give patience as if a gift, rather than being in a state of oppression in which one feels obligated to act in such a way.
My tenth thread was "siddhiyatrika" which is a Sanskrit word whose literal meaning means one who makes a pilgrimage to learn magical arts or to gain good luck or beatitude.
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, when two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep it was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all of their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. She fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as she could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at her to stop the pain and just die. She began jumping even harder and finally made it out. When she got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that she was deaf - she thought they were encouraging her to jump out of the hole the entire time.
I will turn a deaf ear to the parts of me that want to give up and will keep trying to be the best man I can be.
A frog was in a well and another frog looked down the well and said come join us in the sunlight. The frog in the well said "but this is my home, I am used to it"

Something clicked tonight. Words I have heard here many times. I have only thought these words. I have said these words but have not felt these words. Words you all know. I must work on myself,evolve, grow, become well balanced. Not to pursue my wife. I get it know, I feel it.
I have said those words so many times. As a instruction, as a next step, as a wish. That will never do it. I had to detach enough to understand what it means. I want now to evolve to my greatest potential. For me, so she can see me at my finest, not to be something she may desire. Authentic me, at the top of my game. It's important to me, for her to see me transforming, not as important is that she chooses me over divorce.
I don't see how anything else will work. I am so happy to be detached enough to feel it. I think newbies struggle with the process not being fast enough but until you realize you can simply let go of your problem, it is hard to make progress.
I think my struggle to post here was a indicator that I was transitioning to this new plateau. I had nothing really to say anymore about my wife this, my wife that. I am now free, free to be me.
Sounds like progress! And really, we owe it to our kids and ourselves to be the best that we can be. If WW takes notice and comes running back, so much the better!
You're great anyway mu. Keep on polishing yourself!
