I just want to go outside and shout it to the rooftops!<P>I know I've been questioning a lot...scared...uncertain...seeking answers to the unanswerable...<P>But, today, there was positive...today I smiled from the inside out...<P>I was supposed to be at a conference--but circumstances occurred which made me not have to attend...my boss (female) treated me to breakfast and then freed me for the day...(with a suggestion to surprise my H at his work). So I did...<P>It was his lunchhour and he had just had an incident occur which he was unhappy about...I reassured him and then he had to go talk with the other teacher & principal...so I left for an errand...<P>A little bit later he called and apologized...I was stunned, 1st apology was unnecessary...I totally understand the job (as we're both teachers) and why he had to meet then...2ndly, HE HAS NEVER APOLOGIZED TO ME BEFORE EVER!!!...<P>So, I took him some lunch [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]...and he asked me to do something for him (bring him his gym clothes)...again...it has been a long time since he asked me to do something for him!<P>Just a few minutes ago, I sent him a text message (love and other positive thoughts) and he just called me to thank me...<P>God, I love him...I just can't believe he didn't think so...I can't believe he thinks (thought?) that he was just a convenience...<P>...so I continue the battle...I email him with my thoughts, I send him text messages on the phone, I call and leave voice mail...I greet him with a smile and an easy voice...<P>and, I continue to pray and ask God everyday to show me what to do...to lead me on the right path...not How do I save my marriage, but Is this what you want for me, my H & my children...show me the way...<P>Cali

[img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] Adding my smiles to yours! It's sometimes the little things that can effect us SOOOO hugely! For me, I've really been trying to back off my H. It seems (as I've heard from many sources) that when I back off, he pulls forward. He's living with his sister, but comes over on nights when I'm gone to be with the kids. Last night he was over. This morning, as I was getting out of the shower, he came in and hugged and kissed on me and said "I LOVE sleeping with you!" I said "me too!" He said "you love sleeping with you too?" I said "yep!" It was a little thing, but I'm STILL smiling over it! Enjoy the little victories. I pray the same prayer that you do; that God guide my words and actions, and that I will know what his will for my future is and follow it, whatever that may be. Blessings to you!<P>MOM

Cali,<P> [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] Keep those messages going - don't stop. It's important to keep telling him how you feel about him. That way he knows and doesn't need to guess.<P>This morning, for the first time in months, my W said to me 'I love you' too. I've been missing that and doubting it for a long time.<P>take care,<P>- Freddy

Hi Cali. I'm so happy for you!! I've only been on the ride for a couple of months but I'm finding that the smallest things that I used to take for granted are like mana from heaven these days. I hold on to those pearls and recall them in the ugly moments. May your stock of pearls never be exhausted. [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

This is to Cali's H if you still lurk.<P>For all the road blocks you've thrown, there she still is. And look how very little it takes to bring forth joy and love. Yes, this woman loves you, of that there is no doubt. You'd be the biggest fool in the world not to treat her like she deserves, you have a true gift in your wife, I hope you fully realize that before it is too late.<P>NY

Thanks all...I do feel like I am seeing progress...<P>H doesn't sound 'down' everytime I call...<P>Today when his cell voicemail came on I left an upbeat message...when he called me back just a bit later I said, "I was sad when you didn't answer..." He said, I know, I'm sorry I was busy working in my classroom and the music was up loud so I didn't hear the phone [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]." We had a nice chat as I drove the boys to gymnastics...<P>It will be nice to pay for a big cell phone bill that I WAS THE CAUSE OF [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img]..<P>And, NY...he doesn't lurk here...maybe OW and OW H...at least that's what H has said...that they sometimes check up on me...<P>Thanks, all!<P>Keep on praying...prayer works!<P>Cali
