Quote: for whatever the reason, God allows 7000 Ds a month to go through in the good ol US of A.
Yes, unfortunately, we pray about people for their hearts to change, for them to want to know God and God does move people but ultimately the person has FREE WILL. THat is why there are STILL D's even though God is all powerful...He can't effect a person's free will. My h's free will is still up in the air despite my prayers and God's will.
Oh, well, you are right...I can't read between the lines. I know in the past my h has changed his mind at the drop of a hat. As you and I both know, our r has not gotten any better. My h is still as rude as the day I left him and as unloving. These lack of changes keeps me wary.
If we do get d, the only relationship I will have with my x-h will be for the sake of the children and that will be very minimal. He rarely calls them or shows concern for their schooling or sports activities so I expect that NOT to change once we are d. So thankfully contact will be at a minimum after the d. I do not see myself attempting to pursue an r after the d.
Today, I'm making myself happy by focusing on helping others in need, taking the focus off my r.
