I stand because I came from a broken home and know how painful that was.

I stand because God hates divorce and calls me to continuously forgive my H's remarks, attitude, and actions.

I stand because I vowed to love my husband until death.

I stand because I know that my H is in far more pain than I am and will need my support when the walls crash down on him.

I stand because I know that throwing away our family is not really what will bring my h happiness.

Wow!! I LOVE this, this is exactly why I stand, even though my husband reminded me last week he definitely is 100% done. .... We have a gym "date" this saturday..Baby steps right? Although he says I always get my hopes up when he's just trying to be civil for the kids. BS?? I don't know. But I can't throw away 14 yrs just like that, not with 2 daughters and an angel on the way.
