25yearsmlc message to peeps

[purgatory]

Thanks 25 for giving us all hope- in one form or another.

My H is the first type (saw the flaws and walked away). It's only been a month since the bomb, and I'm just coming to grips with it. I am inspired by your sitch (2 years apart to come back together.... I admire your patience.) I've been plagued lately by thoughts of giving up and letting him have his way... then there's that little voice that keeps telling me to be patient and continue to stand for my M.

Questions to you: How did you stay patient and hopeful all those years? Or did you give in, and then things came back together?
(I can relate to your military lifestyle... I am the daughter of a Navy Capt. and I married a Lt., so I've been the daughter who dealt with missing her dad, and now I'm the W who misses her H- but when he goes for a year to Afg.... I'm not his W, and I don't know how to deal with that)

Didn't mean to hijack, but you have experience with the special challenges of military life and how those affect marriages and divorces.
Thanks for any suggestions
