LonelyD (and AmyC),

I want to be clear that AmyC is far more qualified than I to advise you on the best approach to your W. I say this because your W is closer to the sitch AmyC came from than my own W....who didn't exhibit the extreme MLC/WAS/OM factors that some do. That said, I am trying to help you from a man-to-man standpoint. In other words, what worked for me as a man trying to let God into my life and give Him control after I had so unbelievably screwed things up. No offense taken if you choose a harsher approach with your W than I would recommend. I understand this might be what she needs to see the contrast between you and OM. The watchout....if you are too aggressive, the difference between you and OM might not be as apparent. Regarding this comment in your post:

I believe if this were truly over, then God would have sent me in a different direction, He would not lead me down a path to intentionally hurt me.


I would ask you to consider that God sometimes allows us to go through stuff (pain, hurt, trials) to get us where He wants us. Don't be surprised if there is still more to come.....which is true for ALL of us!
