My friend, I just wanted to tell you that around the 18 - 24 month timeframe, the LBS starts to lose some momentum.

You know, I stood for a long time because I felt that a long term marriage deserved it. It was a way to honor it.

There was a very wise poster, J3Beans, who wrote, if you were told your marriage had a 1 in a million chance of making it, would you take that chance?

I think we all would.

The fact that your wife is still there, redoing her room, telling you about her evenings with friends, speaks volumes.

You will be last in the reconnection process. Succks that it works that way, but, it does.

She still needs to work through her stuff. I pray she is doing that some and realizes she needs help with the rest.

You are not done. I can see that clearly.

So, you gotta dig in a bit more. You may decide to quit one day. Today is not that day.

(((hugs)))
