I believe we are piecing...

It has been awhile since I've checked in. I remember, when things were going so badly in my marriage, how I looked for hope. So I thought I'd update and give some hope to others who are going through hard times.

Things are going great with my marriage and life overall.

My wife is always at home with me and is looking forward to moving back permanently. :-) We are going to sell her house and refinance mine in both of our names, so it will be OUR home.

We are making good progress healing the relationship with my wife's daughters and family. It is so nice to again be welcomed for holidays and family get-togethers. We have two family vacations planned, a cruise and a beach get away for my wife's 50th birthday. The grandkids are growning like weeds.

I started training in a new career that is not so physical, where I am making decent money and have room for advancement. I am learning fast and am delighted things are going so well. It is great to be healing and working again.

My wife and I both continue to workout twice a week with our personal trainer. We are getting stronger, losing a bit of weight - looking and feeling better. We start with a nutritionist next month.

Life is good.

If you deeply love your spouse, don't give up. It's never too late. For a while there, my wife was so ugly and unforgiving to me, I wondered why I hung on. I just sucked it up and let her know I was in our marriage for the long haul; that I was not going anywhere and would be there for her. See a therapist - alone and/or together. It made all of the difference in the world to us.


I wish everyone a happy future. :-)
