I appreciate your opinion too ---but you and I have one big difference seemingly. I truly believe that the Lord has directed me to stand for my marriage --plain and simple. I and many others like me are totally convinced that this is the path that the Lord has set us on --and we are going to see it to the end.
When you are convicted that this is what the Lord wants you to do --it is NOT wasting one's life nor one's time. And already I can say that I have grown and learned more about life, my faith, etc than I could have in any other way.
Remember too ---that there are many on this board who may post for a while --and then quit. Like me --they have not made contact with others who are on this site --so when they disappear --no one knows what happened.
Since MLC has happened in my life ---I have encountered many folks who have known or experienced MLC with a loved one or friend. Also I am in another rather large MLC internet group --so I have been aware of the progress in those situations. In MOST cases the MLC'er finally does try in some fashion to re-connect. But a common problem is that the left behind spouse has given up long ago and is no longer available or willing to revive the relationship. It takes a faith conviction to see this through. It is almost impossible to "stand" for the marriage without this inner conviction.
I wish you well --Braveheart. You never know what the Lord has in store for any of us --and one day that wife of yours may show up on your doorstep! Blessings --- Ottocat
