Quote: YOU TALK TOO MUCH!
Sorry, but it is the truth.
You know that saying about beating a dead horse?
You've done that, now it's 6 feet under.
STOP TALKING.
JUST DO IT.
You don't owe her any further explanations.
She wants you out of her life, you're out.
Make your arrangements for the kids.
Follow through but don't be a doormat ANYMORE.
I will make it so, starting NOW.
Quote: ...you are not going to win her back by being at her beck and call, patting her head when she hurts or taking the kids everytime she wants to hit the streets.
You think? I know Queen Amy.
Quote: You're going to win her back by being the man that God created you to be.
I know. I need to continue to change my behavior to what I know is right. I will.
Quote: I'll put it to you like this: there's a time to fight, you're fighting for your respect and dignity, neither of which she acknowledges you deserving or possessing - so embrace your inner jackass and let him out if necessary.
Unfortunately desperately necessary.
Quote: DEFEND YOURSELF!
WITHOUT WORDS.
It means stop taking her crap!
WALK AWAY.
Not from her, but from her behavior and treatment of you so if that means you walk out of her presence, SO BE IT!
Amy, where have you been all my life to guide me on determining what is acceptable treatment to accept from my W? I can tell in your posts that you feel frustrated in encouraging me to DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I am frustrated that I keep doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. My W always called that the definition of insanity.
Quote: You DON'T DESERVE to be treated this way but only you can change it.
She'll ride this thing as long as you will let her.
I know. I know. I am still so desperately afraid of losing her to a D. For some strange reason I am not quite accepting that I am already on that path with her. Doesn't make any sense to me are anyone who knows me.
Quote: STOP TALKING. GAL.
When you stay grounded in His Word you won't totally let go because you will be constantly claiming His WILL for your marriage. It will become your very breath.
SHE doesn't need to know any of that for it to change HER.
I know I talk too much. Doing something different for me would be to shut up. I will stop talking about anything other than the children right now. Thanks again Amy for encouraging me to change my R by changing me.
