A LBS's take on role reversals.

[christarn]

"If my wife changed in that way...I may start to believe and open my heart. DO you see why I am so negative about having any hope for my marriage. I have been giving and making excuses for her lack of affection for a decade. I got burned by that..I don't see any or many reasons to believe that short of a miracle from God himself that my marriage has any hope."

I'm not good at the quote box thing...so I just copied and pasted the above from your post on HIC's thread. Jay, always always always remember THERE IS HOPE IN HOPELESS!!!!!!!!!!!

A really good book to read is 5 love languages by Gary Chapman, your love language is probably physical touch. I can't help but wonder if you identify her love language if you could use to benefit you and your R/M.

Patience...you and I both are here, waiting, patiently for our S's to decide what they want. Find your strength, in your children, in God, in whatever way neccessary...trust me, you can do this!! you already are...you are here, this is a good place to start. We are all here to help each other!

Take care
Christa
