pray you do, and you will. The peace comes from prayer, and trusting everything to God. And letting your wife go. Not looking for revenge, or justice even, as that is God's business.
Thanks, I know I will. I remember hearing something on the X-Files of all places . They were debating the existence of God and if He does, indeed, speak to us. Anyway, the answer that Scully gave was, "The problem isn't that God doesn't speak to us. The problem is that we don't listen." That has stuck with me for years. I need to spend more time listening.

You have to know that He still loves your W, even as she is doing horrible things. You have to love her too, but you don't have to stay married to her. Hand her back to Him, and let Him worry about her. Just continue to pray for her.
All very true. All part of letting go.

Then, understand that God will take care of you. That doesn't mean He's going to lay out a nice comfy path. But you will be taken care of.
Also true. I really need to let go of the fear. What about the kids, what about this, what would happen if...........
Let go.

If you are at all like me, this emotional trial has brought you closer to God, which is a tremendous blessing. It will pay huge dividends down the road.
I think I am a lot like you. I have always believed that God brings us closer to him through trials and tribulations. I always thought that I had my fair share of them. Boy, was I wrong. I am sure it will pay dividends in my life. I hope to be able to pay it forward, somehow. Whether on here like Puppy and Coach and Greek and Rob and others-(sorry if I left anyone out. I could go on and on )-I don't know. I do know the things I have learned about myself and this whole process and how it all probably could have been avoided need to be out there for all to learn and understand. They shouldn't have to be found searching the web for "my wife hates me." Or, "I love you but I'm not in love with you anymore."
This is too important and anyone who thinks that it can't happen to them needs only to look at everyone here. It happens evey day.
