Remember the scripture in your signature and repeat it to yourself whenever you get these thoughts of doubt! I know it's hard Brother, but God wants us to stay the course, otherwise we would have given up when they walked out.
In their reality (whatever it may be in their head right now), we have all caused them lots of pain & hurt. They thought they tried everything possible & that this was the only way out. Prayer, time, and Patience will get us through to the other side my Brother!
I reflect on the last 3 years and how I treated my wife, and I can honestly empathize with her actions (although I think they are stinky). I have been going to IC, Church (accepted Christ as my Savior), and am now on meds. All of these are complete 180's for me (all which have literally pissed W off)! Because in the past, my pride prevented me from realizing that I did need help in a major way and that none of these things made me lesser of a person. I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder after the bomb, which my Dr. told me was most likely brought on/triggered by my Lay-Off/Bankruptcy 3 years ago & worsened with current Sitch. So in summary I made my W miserable for almost 3 years & was too stubborn to see that I needed help. My W told me about 5 months ago that the Self-Confident, Cocky (so to speak), Humorous man that she fell in love with was gone! Talk about a wake-up call.
Not sure where the heck I was going with this story....LoL
