Wife filed for divorce...Is there still hope?

[LSG]

I just watched "Fireproof" a movie about helping marriages to be stronger and reaffirm them. It sure made me feel good even if my M will be over.

I took off my ring tonight, but I put it back on because I am still married, and I take my committment to my W very seriously even if she does not. She may treat me poorly, and she may even have me homeless in the next week, but I am not going to just become someone that I don't like or someone I cannot look at in the mirror.

It may seem that what I write is in conflict with what I do, but it is not. I made a committment to my marriage, and I still hold that strong and dear to my heart regardless of what she has done to me. "For better or worse." I also made a promise to my kids that I would never leave them and to be there to protect them. I will continue to do that even if it is hard for me very soon. I will not break my committment and promise I have made to my W or kids. I will still fight the D because that is her choice, but I will fight to protect my kids and have a R with them always because I am their Father. I will not abandon them.

What I am saying may seem to be in conflict, but it is not to me.

I will still look for a job and pray that I find one. I will be okay no matter what.

Am I still upset with my W, you bet. Will I still fight for my rights, yes I will. These are choices I have to make that nobody but me can do.

Will it be hard. Sure. I will fight to the end for my kids. She will have to fight for our marriage at this point!!! That will be her choice and decision if she decides to do it.

I will be "okay." no matter what.
