Cinders,

I am so sorry about your dog and the way your husband was disrespectful to you.

BUT I so pleased the way you TM'd him. A couple of months ago I asked my H if there was anyway to shut of the caller id on the phones in our house from his office phone and just show our home phone (girlfriend calls him on his office line). Supposedly there is no way to do that but he figured out that it upset me when I had to see her number so he asked her not to call him on either the house phone or work phone anymore. When his cell phone rings when we're together he either doesn't answer it or it's not her and then he will talk to the person. I haven't had to hear him have a conversation with her in many months...at least since last October. Pray about it. It may be one of those prayers that you see an answer to.

Cinders, don't give up. You have (and still are) been such an inspiration to many of us here. Ask God to give you more strength and to help you through the small problems until the big problem has been chipped away to another small problem.
