Merrick sounds like your having a pretty good day. Boy to be out of the top 3 is good in my book. I had to laugh, still am. I see your point on VA. Beach, and in some regards you may be right but we all need a break from our lives to cut loose with some freinds and relax. Remember Merrick, the idea is to take care of you, be more independant and live for you. Make the changes from within and be the best you can be.I can certainly understand your not wanting to. Before the restraining order I dont think I would have either. That was my cue to move on, its in Gods hands, guess it always was. I will be respectable but if its time to heal my W needs,well so be it. Im not out planning an affair or an orgy. Its a weekend getaway to relax. (Its not an orgy is it? maybe I should have asked. ) Sorry, just thinking out loud...

I agree with you Merrick in that counseling would be good for the 2 of you. While counseling for you may get her interested Im not sure its the answer. I went and still do when the crap gets really deep but I pretty much know what he is going to say and I dont feel as though he is really helping. More like a good friend to listen. I think you shoot straighter with me than him. I wish he would make me question things on occasion. Well, take care and pleasant dreams, You all will be in my prayers at Sunday morning service, God Bless, Eddy
