So since there doesn't seem to be much movement of my wife towards me I have decided to work towards moving on/dropping the rope. As I have said before, and as Sandi has reinforced in me, I believe it will only be then that I may see some sort of chance again. I have not lost hope, nor will I ever. I still believe that someday I will have another chance with my w, and my family will be whole again. This will probably be my last post for awhile, as it seems the more time I spend on here the more I focus on my w.
I will continue to become a better person, a better father, and a better friend. I will continue to try and speak all 5 love languages to everyone in my life. I have enjoyed going to church, so I will continue down that path, as it is a way to spend quality time with my w.
Sandi, if you read this I want to say thanks, but I would also like to say something else. Your advice, along with GroceryKartMan, in my particular sitch seemed to be spot on. GKM helped me to find answers within myself, and you Sandi helped me to understand my w. I will say that when you write with compassion it is easier to digest. I know you are trying to get through to all of us, but for myself your first couple of posts almost felt like salt in a extremely deep and fresh wound. You wrote things that I needed to hear, it is just that at that time I needed the ever wise version, rather than the drill sargeant.
Without this forum, I would probably still be lost at sea. You have all helped me to realize that it is my choice to be happy regardless of anyone else's actions. That in itself will be one of the most important lessons that I can pass to my children. Thanks again to everyone.
