Training for a Marathon, Hoping for a Sprint

[Greek]

I met her that day and asked her to come home unconditionally.

In what way "unconditionally"?

During the past two weeks, she has contacted me daily and I have gone to her workplace most days to see her at her request. I have told her I forgive her and she doesn’t understand how or why I would do that. I used the Prodigal Son as the example for my attitude toward what has happened (is happening) in our lives.

This is a good story, Prodigal Son. What did the father do all of those years his son was out squandering resources? He didn't wait. He got on with his life.

So now, I am buckling in for what appears to be a long wait on her.

It's called Limbo. Do a search on this site and read the posts about Limbo.

I have told her that I am willing to wait days, weeks, months or years, because my love for her is that strong and our M means that much to me.

Believe it or not - most women prefer their man FIGHT for their marriages, rather than WAIT for them. It shows strength, self respect, confidence. Waiting is, well, just waiting.

I am reading a couple of Christianity-based books (How to Save Your Marriage Alone and Hope for the Separated) and have ordered DB, so I am educating myself on this process.

Love Must Be Tough by Dobson.

Read Puppy Dog Tails's thread (formerly Chocolateyes) and definitely read TulsaTime's latest thread. Read Coach, too. I can tell you first hand, Coach was not waiting around for his W to come home...and he won her back (thanks, God!).
