you are doing awesome brother!!!! just keep it up, the personal spiritual road you are on is the same road I have been on and it finally starting coming together last week.
Your right, forget about what all the friends say. I told very few people about my situation, but the ones I did tell gave me very little good advice that was aligned with what God wanted me to do. I will admit, all the constant negative advice did start to have an affect on what I wanted to do, but everytime I tried to give up, I was pulled back to it. You just keep praying and listening to God, his way, no matter what it is, IS the perfect way. Give God time to work on her, you will find out down the road as I did, there was a lot of things going on to heal my W that I never knew about! Just keep praying that God will lead, guide and direct her. It's still her WILL but God will work to pull her back into his.
Quote: I will move forward happily WITH her by my side or sadly without her. If I need to move forward without her, I know my sadness will lessen with time as I continue to GAL and work on becoming the man that God always intended for me to be.
Perfect attitude!
Quote: Each day I become stronger and more comfortable in my own skin and more comfortable in the fact that my W's decisions may force me to a single dad. I know that I will be fine. I know I will love my children completely and be a great father. The ground beneath my feet becomes more stable every day. My praying becomes more focused. I become more clear. I am embracing my fears.
Awesome!!!!! This is when things really start to happen, when your hands are COMPLETELY off the situation.
BIG PATS ON THE BACK BROTHER!!! KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT!!
Learn to laugh at it. People are people and everyone is human. Choose how you will act and don't re-act.
