I have not been around for a long time...so many things have ahppened!!
First..thank you Jl for coming by..I am happy that things are moving in a positive directions..patience..a word I have heard for several years...pays off.
I know that most of you newcomers have no idea who I am, and if you care to read my past threads, you will knwo that i came here 2 years ago..lost, scared..then all these friends helped me feel better about ME..i read Michelles books..I tried to keep my h home..well he moved out Nov.02..he was on a journey of finding himself and other stuff..scared the he** out of me..25 years of m is a long time..how would I make it...well with the sep came a time for both of us to find ourselves..and to become more involved in our church......we remained friends..talked..did some family things together..but last Oct., h came to tell me he renewed his lease, and that maybe I should think about doing something"legal"...I was devastated..but I knew I could not hold onto him..I prayed for God to help him find his happiness..well on super bowl SUnday he came by..wanted to talk//of course I knew what it was..WRONG...he asked for forgiveness..wanted to come back to the m...
to make a longer story short..May 14, (26 years to the date of asking me to m him the first time) he came by my work with my diamond reset in another setting..and asked me to renew our vows, as he had our pastor waiting at the church..
We then went on a short trip to Nashville..
All I want to say is thanks to all who helped me on this long..painful, but rewarding journey..and to ALL the new people here..don't give up hope and faith if restoring your marriage is what you really want...it does involve making changes that you might not think are fair,patience while they take their journey, but most of all..I believe that true forgiveness from the heart will play the largest part in restoring not only the m, but your true self.
