Phoenix slowly rising

Thanks, Oad for your support. Unfortunately, I don't know what he is saying to others, no one ever wants to tell you. But I'm pretty sure I know what it is. The unfortunate thing is I don't think he realizes that most of the things he's probably blaming me for are things I had no control over. I will take responsibility for some things because this is not all his fault that we are here. And I've told him that. But the thing that just sticks in my craw is he didn't respect me and our marriage enough to give it a chance. That's all. That's all I wanted was a chance.

Matt165 - you're right about the manipulation aspect of their situation. And my H has always been the great manipulator. I've seen him at work. Funny thing is I was apparently so blinded I didn't see him working me - at least that's how I feel right about now. I can't say for sure, but it would fit with everything else. You're right Matt, all we can do is be the best men and women we can - RIGHT ON!

Something TL posted (and I ad lib here): 'There are three things that can't be hidden for long, the sun, the moon, and the truth.' Love it!!
