Hi June-
I am sorry for your pain though you have found a good place to come for support. I recommend that you start your own thread. You can do that by clicking on the "new topic" link toward the top of the main Midlife Crisis Forum page.

You will find many people who are experiencing or have experienced the same things you are now going through. It helps so much to know you are not alone and to get advice from others who understand your situation.

I guess God only knows if you are wasting your prayers. There is nothing wrong with having hope...I think all of us come to this place to find hope. There is no magic bullet and I believe many LBS's move on before the WAS comes around. I have been on this site for a year and a half and have only "seen" a few reconciliations...but who knows if you could be one of the few. There are several WAS's of posters here that are teeter with recommitting to the M. Speaking from experience, even when the WAS shows signs of reconnecting, it can still be a very long and painful process but hopefully worth it in the end. And even if we don't get our spouses back, we help each other learn and grow and heal.

So stick around. Be prepared for people to tell you to detach, GAL, have no expectations and even hit you with the occasional virtual 2x4.

(((HUGS)))
