Time for the Loop the Loop on this rollercoaster!

[SM34]

Mrbond, I realize it takes time. I am being patient.

Sandi, I wish I was making it up. It sounds like things I have qritten before because my gut was telling me those were the reasons.

There have been many things I have been accused of, but never fabricating stories. Why would I do that anyway? I am here to seek help and how can I get help if I make up stuff?

you know that Dr Harley lists 'financial needs' as an important emotional need for women? OM is just a vessel to help her gain self esteem, we have established that already here in my threads. He is telling her what she wants to hear as far as her looks go. Remember all of you were saying she wont be with him long, and asking me what I tgought of the idea of OM2?

I swear on my little girls life that those,messages are word for word what she typed. My daughter is the only precious thing I have in my life right now, and I would NEVER swear on her life if it wasnt true!

Sandi I know it is hard to.believe. Like I have said before, everyone who knows me thinks I am destined for big things. I was top of my class, I was a dual major in college and one of the youngest engineering grads in my class. I owned my own business at 21, bought a house, two fancy cars, went on expensive vacations etc...

My wife had placed a huge bet on me back in college. I was smart,.funny,.and popular. all her friends and family liked me. But simewhere along the lines I assumed the fatherly role and I was now responsible for her hapiness.

Witg my ex partners drug addiction, and my business going south causes by the economy, I started to lose faith in myself. I was not supposed to steuggle financial (that'd what I thought to myself). And I guess it showed how scared and helpless I felt in the last few years. Those are not atteactive qualities in a man!

Its not that we have struggled financially that has made my wife lose respect for me. She is not a gold digger, as we see by hee choice of OM. Its the fact that I lost faith in myself. I have gone through the motions of business ownership for a few years now, feeling a lot of dispair. THAT, is what is not attractive! When the going gets tough, the tough get going.....and a,woman needs to know her man is fearless.

Also, she has always felt like I dont listen to her and take her.opinions in business matters. To me it is because she is smart, but has no business experience and so concepts like 'scarcity of resources' are foreign to her.

In any case, whether my wife stays or goes, I need to succeed in my business. I need to get back to wherw I was financialky, where I should be. A lot is riding on my success, and I feel better about myself when I am doing well.

New store location is going okay, but still needs a lot if work to become profitable. I am a determined person and I WILL pull through this...wife or no wife.
