I thought it was over 2 years ago. Yer ageing me here, Chris....or should I say I'm ageing me. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>I was wondering around the 2 year mark if you were going to file, but then I didn't see you post anything, so I thought you were going to keep it quiet.<P>You did your best and I am so proud of you. I hope things are going good for you and those wonderful girls. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Please continue to update us...I still am hoping for your wife to return and help restore your marriage. If that doesn't happen, I hope you find a wonderful woman deserving of you and the girls (after you are ready for that, of course)! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]

(((((((((Chris)))))))))))<P>I'm very happy for you. You have been thru a lot, you held on to your beliefs and you had more strength than most to hang on so long. I'm glad to see that at the end, you feel ok,and healthy about it, rather than 2 years later being extremely sad like I was at that time.<P>You've worked hard and learned a lot and it shows! Good luck,<BR>Dana<BR>

Just remember we are here for you!<P>Take care & Keep in touch.<BR>Dawnetta

Oh my gosh! I just looked at the date on the calendar and realized that today is MY two year anniversary date of disvovery!!!! I guess I'm on the road to recovery since it nearly slipped by me unnoticed.<P>I'm with ya Chris. I filed myself last month. When you know in your heart that you have done everything you could possibly do, you do have no regrets.<P>The first week after I filed was pretty rough as I had to go through splitting up our personal belongings with H. It made me physically ill. That and the fact that he was still clinging to me made it really hard. But once he left, I have to say that I've been feeling better and better. That spark of life and optimism has finally returned.<P>Life is only going to get better for you and me.

<B>Fess up. What has brought this on? </B><BR>It's just time. We haven't heard from her since Feb. Don't know if she's alive or what.<P>Just time to get it over with.<BR>Don't think I would want her back now if she paid me!<P><B>Are your D's alright with the decision? Are you alright with it?</B><BR>My oldest thinks I should have done it two years ago.<BR>The youngest still hopes, but...<BR>I'm absolutely alright with it.<P>Not a problem in dealing with splitting stuff up. Shouldn't have to unless she pops up for some unknown reason. I'm just worried about the court ruling she gets half my military retirement. If she doesn't get it then I'm not gonna go after child support. She is more than welcome to her life, just leave me out of it.<P>I'll just put her stuff (clothes & knick-knacks) in storage or whatever the court says to do with it.<P>------------------<BR>Prayers & God Bless!<BR>Chris<BR>For relationship info check out <A HREF="http://www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html" TARGET=_blank>Marriage & Relationship Resources</A>

Hey Chris, I was wondering what was going on in your life. I was going to post to you and ask but felt that was too personal.<P>Wishing you all the best!! We'll have to trade teenage daughter stories. I caught mine and one of her girlfriends sneaking out of the house at 1:30am. Thank God for faulty bladders!!!!!<P>Bob

Hey Chris:<P>I'm happy that you're moving forward in the process without regrets. You really did a terrific job---and yeah, I knew that it was over the two year mark for you.<P>You haven't heard from her since Feb? I wouldn't be surprised if she has a (real) brain tumor, with the way that she behaved. I'm really glad that the girls are with you.<P>God bless, my brother...
