In shock...

[TrentC]

Well, I took my rings off. I have also taken down all but one wedding picture. The one I left up was our first kiss as man and wife. I have a Rosary hanging over it. I am just not ready for that one yet. I feel like God is my only hope right now. I can feel the depression setting in.

As an aside, have you talked to a doctor about depression? I don't think I or my situation would be where we are if I hadn't gotten a prescription for anti-anxiety medication.

It's one thing to be bummed out; but if you are suffering from a chemical imbalance, even a short-term one, you literally cannot think clearly.

Sorry to wallow...I know you all don't want to hear it. I will get over it eventually. Time to GAL, distance, and love my kids.....all in the name of not wallowing.

Wallowing is not the problem. We all want you to be happy and successful, whether it involves reconciling with your spouse or letting him go to move on to a better relationship.

I will check back periodically. For right now though, I don't see my actions as saving my marriage.

Thank you to everyone who tried to help me. I am sorry I was so obstinate and blind. I am still praying that God opens his eyes and mine.

We will always be here if you want to talk or vent.

I recommend (re-?)reading MWD's books in the meantime.

And I again offer my own family's experience: my parents were actually divorced for 10 months before they got remarried, and they never heard of Michele Weiner-Davis or DB'ing. So you never can tell what life (or God) has in store for you.
