Jeff...welcome back

Through all this the one thing I really believe is that if you really let someone go then you have the best and maybe the only chance of getting them back. But let’s face it, few come back.



I, too felt the same way and decided to let go in hopes that H will find me again sooner. Hanging on for the last year seems to have pushied my H farther and closer to OW. Just hope it wasn't too late. Maybe only few come back but there is still hope that your W or my H will be the few that do.

I chose my road – I can honestly say I did everything I could but it is time to move on – with or without her


You absolutely did but I believe that until THEY are ready, it doesn't matter what we do, they will not come back when WE want or wish them to.

God considered my prayers to reconcile my M and the answer to date is NO. He has other plans for me. But I feel strong and secure. I thank God He put me through this – I came out a far better man. I have reached a summit on the mountain; the view is fantastic! Higher peaks are in the distance. I look forward to the climb. Only opportunities await!


God has plans for both you and your W and that is why now is not the time for reconciliation. You have grown so much but your W has much more work to do, she can not come back as she is as the M won't last. Let her work through it.

I am right behind you on the same mountain and the opportunities ARE great.

Hugs,
