God give me the patience and the strength...2

Where do you draw the line? A push? A shove? A kick? A punch? Broken bones where

The fight the other night would absolutely draw the line for me under normal circumstances. In NO way would I accept that behaviour from my H. But this man that he is today IS NOT my H.

Is it also fair to say that your H behaviour is getting progressively worse? At first he only hit you when he was drunk .. not he is sober. He used to be faithful now he has OW. He promised to love you and never divorce and yet he is treating you worse than he would a stranger on the street.

He is now in MLC...

YOU are showing yourself no respect by continuing to allow him to treat you worse than a dog. Why should he respect you?

This is where you are wrong. It is now that I AM DEMANDING respect or a Divorce finally after a year of total misery.

and says YOU need to draw him back in. WHO does he think he is?

when he made that statement my first thought was totally what you did. Then...I think this was a total honest statement. I really think that my H does want to come back to me. Does what to be in love with me again. Does what to be attracted to me. But right now the feelings aren't there and maybe this was a call for help from me???

If I was you I would leave him and OW to drink themselves to death and get on with my own life.

I understand that and some days I would agree with you. But bottom line is I LOVE my H. I DO NOT want this man he is today. I am just doing everything possible to hang on until (GOD WILLING) when/if my H clears the fog. Wrong? I hope not.
