Wow... heavy slap in the face with a 2x4 from sandi. I feel it too, because those are my words also.
Quote:
“My issues with her doing this are...
She made a vow of 'for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and health, good times and bad, 'til death do us part'. Our kids would be better off in one two parent home than in two single parent homes. I think the solution to a problem isn't running away from it or separating yourself from it, but by working through it. She hasn't given our marriage that opportunity. I have made lasting changes to issues she had with me.”
But it is so hard to keep working each and every day, when there is absolutely no sign of softening or changing of heart.
Sandi has good advice, listen to her. She's given up on me, probably because I didn't to listen to her advice, but no matter what anyone tells me, I refuse to give up on my family. I'm praying for you antlers.
Hi song.
Regarding slaps in the face with 2x4's...bring 'em! I want them, and I need them!
I think, song, that we have to continue working each and every day, even if there is no softening or changing of the heart on their part. We have to do it for us, and our kids. Our wives have left our marriages. Plain and simple. And they might not come back. Mine killed me with her words on April 30th. I've got to keep living though, so do you.
Sandi's great! I get a lot out of reading her posts to others, and I know you do too. I appreciate your prayers song. I'll have good thoughts for you too. I'm not giving up either...but, it's not up to us anymore. It's up to our wives. If they decide to end our marriages with divorce...then it'll happen. We don't want it to. God knows we don't want it to. But we have to keep living regardless, not just exhisting, but living! We have kids, and we have to be stronger, not only for ourselves, but for them. I don't want this to happen, to either of us. I'm still hopeful, as dismal as it seems. I don't even know anymore if it's a false hope...seems like it right now...she sounds pretty firm and strong.
