You speak very wise words, Ponygirl. It's a shame your marriage seems to be moving towards divorce. I guess I'm in a bit of a different place. Kids are a factor and husband may not be willing to engage in full blown repair but he certainly shows some signs of coming around. He spent almost the entire last weekend at the house installing a new fence. We went to dinner as a family and he hung around watching movies, etc. He seems to miss home and enjoy being here. I worry about the same co-dependant thing you describe. Although I think we are all a little co-dependant if we really love unconditionally. I now know I still got it and I recognize my husband is damaged - I'm just not sure if it's a waste with him. He still has qualities I desire and respect... all those things I married him for. I just don't know how long I can wait for him to recognize he's worthy of happiness and that happiness can be found right here at home - with his family.
