Cat -I will not judge her if the D goes through because I do not think she is capable of making a rational, informed decision. I don't think she does either due to the fact that she has not followed up on the D and has only filed the petition. I am a very forgiving person and have always been, which is part of what I believe and I would be a hypocrite if I did otherwise. If you've been checking my posts on Heros Spouse you would know I have not been a perfect husband (especially in the first few years) but have done everything I could to serve my penance and I believe she has forgiven me. I want her to be back in my life and to one day be my wife again. I will do whatever I need to in order to help pave the way for that.

If she were in her right mind, I feel she should be honoring her vows and at least giving me the chance to support her through this. We both agreed to our vows and she was the one pressuring me to get married when we did. She has never wavered until recently and I would give anything if she would start helping me work on the marriage. I want my family back together and would be willing to make any sacrifice to see that wish fulfilled.

Lorie - It's not only the "worse," but the "sickness" part of our vows as well. I don't know how to be the best choice as I don't know if or who she might end up with between now and then. I know your sitch is terrible and I admire you more than you know for not beating her up and kicking your H to the curb. I don't know how I would react in your situation, but you are handling it the best I could hope for.
