SBH - Please don't use my thread to promote your philosophy on this stuff. I get your position on all of it. By all means, start a new thread so it can be discussed.
I don't mean to be a jerk about this, but I'm tired of being told how to define my W's R with OM... and I'm tired of being told that I am weak for handling my situation the way that I've handled it.
I have a different view of things... MY situation. That's all.
Denver,
Since you never responded to either of my posts, I'm going to assume you're including me in this as well, and I'm going to bow out. It's pretty clear that the type of advice I'm giving to you is only aggravating you, and that's the last thing I want right now, as you're in enough pain already.
I will continue to follow along, and do pray for you often, for your success. If I'm misunderstanding, just let me know.
thanks,
Starsky
Ugh...
I'm not asking anyone to bow out. I simply don't want the same retread statements on how affairs should never be tolerated.
Maybe this is a better way of stating it...
I do not view my W's R with OM as an Affair... It is a R that she allowed to happen after she left me with the intention of moving on with her life. All that was left of our M when she left was a piece of paper... that is all that is left of it now. I am not religious, so I do not view things from that perspective.
So let's not debate the above.
I have not responded to your posts Starsky, because I simply don't have any answers right now. It's not that I haven't read them or considered them. I really haven't responded to any posts on this thread until SBH's.
I'm aggravated right now bc I am frustrated with my situation and my inability to successfullly reconcile my M. I feel like a prisoner who has had a steak dinner put within inches of his reach for 5 months, only to have it taken away before he had a chance to eat it.
That's why I am so aggravated. Not because of anyone on this board.
I appreciate everyone here.... yes, you Starsky ... and SBH.
