I couldn't agree with 2Step more. It takes a lot of self-esteem and love to stand for your marriage when you are being discouraged. I can't imagine why she made such a statement.
This bank thing, SIC... it's going to throw her for a loop again. Slowly, but surely, her fantasy is being brought back to reality and they don't necessarily like this. You will be the easiest target. Watch out.
I understand needing the break, though. I'm glad you are looking at that as a positive.
You are NOT crazy for standing for your marriage or standing for the one you love. Someone needs to be the rock. That's got to be you. Don't ask me why you were the one chosen to do this job, but it's an important one. That doesn't make you crazy. It makes you responsible.
I'm praying for you.

Thanks LIS.
Ya she was pretty down when I got home yesterday, told me she can't get anywhere near the money she needs. I wonder if they talked to her about her "options"?
I feel these setbacks or reality checks for her are a good thing, but I also realize it probably isn't going to make her focus on the R/M.
She feels like I was the wrong guy for her, and that she never really loved me. I'm not really sure how we recover from that? Also, it's not like she's trying to find love with me either.
I read and article yesterday that said the physical emotions of love only last for 1-4 years. That in the start of a R there is "lust" that last's for 3-6 months.
So basically after 3 or 4 years, it's upto both of you to actual nourish the R to ensure the loving feeling last.
Now if I could only figure out how to trigger "lust" again in my W...errr ummm as it pertains to ME!
