I just read this whole thread and wow...I see I am not alone! I endured working next to my H on my birthday in September and even tho the other employees wished me a happy birthday, he said nothing to me about it. He didn't want to see me on Thanksgiving and when I asked him about Christmas, he said no, he didn't want any "problems". My heart has been aching for the husband I once knew. One of the pics he posted on a singles site is one that I took on our romantic trip to Maui! It bites sooo much! How can my HUSBAND do this? I took my vows seriously! I helped him build his business from dust! I feel horrid because he's running our finances into the ground and am FORCED to file a legal separation before it's all over!
To the poster who wrote about looking at the body and wanting the man who loved me to return...WOW! An epiphany for me too!
For years, he said this marriage was for life. I am his fifth wife. He loved the Lord. He doesn't seem to love Him anymore, even saying that PRIDE is keeping him from working on our marriage. PRIDE! Love has no room for that!
{{{ladybug}}} I feel your pain and am soooo sorry you have to be in this boat.
