Eventually you find your balls again and realize you have a lot of value as a person and you don't need to put up with crappy behavior from a crappy excuse for a wife. Eventually you realize that beautiful, loving, tender, caring woman you married has been abducted and you're trying to recon with some hateful, angry, vengeful, remorseless, adulterous creature inhabiting her old shell. Most LBS's end up getting an opportunity to recon, but it comes so far down the road that they've moved on to the point that they no longer want that person in their life. LBS's all come here thinking they are powerless, but they are in fact masters of their own destiny, even eventually making the final decision to recon or not. They just don't know it yet.

Is it still considered being attached if I still hold on to hope? Or do I need to let go of that as well?


Hope is yours for as long as you want it. Hope is what drives us to do amazing things in life. ALWAYS have hope.




A/S with the straight fire. He nails it, and it’s stuff like this that gives me hope, too.
