Leaving the door open for your Husband is a wonderful thing.

There is a difference between keeping the door open and pressuring him to join the family.

I am sure the MWG has made it perfectly clear that her Husband is welcome to join the family for dinner at any time, and IF he decides that he will not come for Christmas, then the family will still enjoy the day with or without him.

After we have lived with MLCBS for so long, and get to a point of acceptance of the situation, although hard to deal with at times, we understand that the MLC'er has huge issues, ones that have absolutely nothing to do with us.

Detachment is a wonderful thing.

There can be no testimony without a test.
I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
