I appreciate your post to Frank. It applies to me as well.
Quote: when my H decided that he did love me, after all, and wanted to remain in the M. I was almost disappointed since I had huge plans for my future, when single, and had to rethink everything.
That is how my W felt when I came to my senses.
Quote: before it's too late, and we LBS's have moved too far down the road of detachment to come back.
This however seems to be where I am now. But I will hang on until she ends it for good.
Frank, I am sorry your W still thinks she has to discover herself alone. Her spiritual journey does not seem to be a Godly spiritual journey. That is the impression that I receive when I read about her. I pray for her salvation, that she comes face to face with our Lord and Savior. With the true God in her life she will find what she is really seeking.
Although our W are different they are similar. I found a note in my Bible today that she wrote saying she would not be able to do what she is if it was not for my help. She has said that many times, yet I am being totally excluded from her life, and what she and our D are doing in finding housing.
As Vernetta said to me, look at the "God forbide, you are divorced" and what you will be doing then. Just leave the door ajar enought that it does not swell and stick shut when she comes knocking.
