Character, Faith, and Patience IIII (I think!)

[789]

Your post has a lot of truth to it. Funny that this is the way the world thinks, most just say just that, move on and find another women. Todays everyone thinks you are suppose to be single or divorced, the other day I picked up some paperwork for my sons school for next year. You know what, they don't have a spot to fill out for "parents" address and such, they have two spots, Mother/Guardian and then farther down Father/Guardian. It just struck me as odd that they didn't have a third actually on top saying "Parents". That is just the way it is now days.

I agree with your list of 4 "I'm" statements, I agree with everyone one of them. My biggest problem is I have not forgiven myself for all that has happened. I know it was my drinking problem and I should have taken care of it long ago, for that I have not been able to forgive myself and what I put her and my sons thru.

Think my wife thinks the same as yours, stay married I win, divorce she wins, not about what needs or should happen, just a line drawn and not budging, at least not yet.

My short term goal is not to remained married, my short term goal is for her to put forth some sort of effort and attempt to see if it is something to work on and not just let it sit how it is, I realize that could be some time. I just want the chance to see and not just let it be done.
