I agree that what was once our marriage is over, but I feel that it's our responsibility to do all we can to face that fact and rebuild it for ourselves and our children. We owe it to each other as we promised in front of hundreds of people 12 years ago.

To me, my marriage is a sacrament, a vow and it's permanent. What God has joined, let not man separate. I accept that. So, as my W contiues to blaspheme the sanctity of our marriage, that's her choice. I have to do all I can, including being available to rebuild our marriage should my W come around to that decison. For better or worse. In good times and bad. Quitting is for the weak.

That doesn't mean I won't continue with my life and improving myself. That's still my goal. But giving into this contemorary idea that "marriage is a piece of paper and if it doesn't work out, I'll just leave" is BS!!

I will force through this conflict.

Alos, I intend to meet with an attorney and get the best info I can about following the best path to protect my interests.
