I have begun to understand how it is important to love ourselves unconditionally and to stand for ourselves and our own happiness. At some point, after we have stood for what we believe in, after we have stood for our M, and after we have stood for our spouses, it is essential that we start to stand for ourselves and our own happiness. There just has to be a point where we have to stop and realize that the sands of time are slipping through our fingers and that it is time to move on. Not because we decide that we no longer love the person who has left us, and not because we canNOT stand any longer. But because we have to love our self. We have to move forward and begin to seek new happiness and contentment.
Amen

Never make someone a priority, who makes you an option.
You sound good dude. Thank you for everything that you have done for me and many on these boards.
God Bless, Eric

The whole way through Denver. The whole way...It has always been about loving and respecting yourself. Finding that inside you to do that again.
At first you think you are doing it for your M and your spouse. Then you evolve.
You question. And time ticks on.
You are tempted to run away when you feel like someone is doing this TO you.
When you find out that you have the courage to endure giving your love without it coming back...
Is when you find out who you are.
Is when you find your self respect again because you realize no one controls your choices, your happiness or your ability to stand up for what you believe.
You end up believing in yourself again.
I know I would not have gained this knowledge, or become the person I am today had I not first made the choice to stand.
Good to hear from you boys again.
Your right Country, Denver actually made sense!

This wonderful journey that we get to embark on really is a gift. A chance of self discovery we probably never would have had to opportunity to experience.
While this is hard stuff, we are forever changed.
It never was about standing or not standing. Not really.
That was a byproduct of our path.
Congratulations of coming through it whole, wiser, stronger.
You did it all with honor and dignity.
May the next part of your life bring you fulfillment. May the people your choose to be part of your world appreciate who you are. May you continue to grow and learn.
I heard from my attorney and I have to go to my final judgment hearing on 12/29.
Will Saint Peter be there?
W doesn't have to go. But I do since I am petitioner.
I was asked how I felt about this.
I feel relieved. I have empathy for her, however, her life circumstances are not an excuse for living an uncomitted life to herself, me and our marriage.
She is not a person I can be married to right now. She is not a person I would accept in my life right now.
