Please stop! You can't quit, God isn't through with you yet, but there is an alternative- Put your troubles in his hands and allow Him His way. You must understand that you can't fight that, it's either his way or failure for all. I had a hard time with this at first. I fought so hard to have things my way. Then I said enough! I needed to put all my frustrations some where else, that's when He took over and now I am doing sooooooo much better, I pray for you all......<P>------------------<BR>Chick's<P>You won't see things until your ready to not be blind!<BR>

Sosad<P>Quit? Quit what? What happened? No-one says rebuilding is easy. It seems like your husband is following the normal course for a betrayer. At least he's confused. My wife is adamant she is doing the right thing and intends to marry as soon as they are both divorced.<P>Thanks to the posts of people like yourself, I am encouraged to ask myself every day, would I take her back if she wanted to? So far the answer has been yes, even though it gets harder every day. I remind myself that she is not deliberately trying to hurt me or the children. All I can do is my best for the children and myself. When reality strikes her, down the road, I may or may not be here for her, but I will be a stronger and better person. Quit, never! Choose a different road, maybe. Be strong, your kids need you.

Been where you are, probably will visit there again. I'm so sorry for your pain.<P>Right now, I just live each day, try not to worry about my H moving out yet again as he has said he will by the first of the month and our marriage being over. All I have to do is get through today as well as I can.<P>What is it you are quitting? Marital efforts? Talking to H? Worrying? We go on living no matter how we feel about it--don't EVEN consider the alternative. Are there things you do want in your life that you have control over?<P>I just started working out again, I'm going to join a choir, I have a ton of stuff to do with the kids. I can't make my H live with and be "in love" with me, but I can do things that I have enjoyed, even if I don't particularly enjoy anything now.<P>Take care of you.

hon, I may be on the other side of the world both in reality and in situation (I am the betrayer) but you and I are in the same boat, believe me. How is that??<P>All we want is to get our family back. We want peace and maybe, just maybe, some happiness and love in there to boot.<P>I am so sorry for your pain. Just know that.

sosad-<BR>I know how you feel. I also know that it is now a new day for you and I hope you are doing better. <BR>So many days, I throw in the towel. Then, two days later, when the smoke clears, I feel like I can do it again.<BR>My H, like yours, has moved out. H filed for divorce on Monday. It was one of the worst days of my life. But, today, I am feeling better. I am realizing that with or without my H, I will be ok. <BR>I know you want your family whole again. So do I. But, as much as you want it, it won't happen unless your H wants it to.<BR>As hard as it is, you need to start concentrating you yourself. (Read my thread- How do I find myself-there are some VERY good ideas in there). <BR>I feel your pain, I truley do. Even though you think you don't have the faith you need to get through this, God knows your pain. He has given you all the faith you need. Just sit down and give your troubles to Him. He WILL guide you.<BR>Tomorrow is a new day, and you will be stronger and more at peace than you were yesterday.<BR>Don't give up. No one ever won the race by stopping in the middle.<BR>Hugs and Love,<BR>Cheryl

sosad,<P>I can't remember if you are going to a councellor or not... If you aren't, you should be. If you are, you should ask about anti-dep meds or something. Ask other people on the forum about that, cuz there are many on here with experience. It helps trememdously from what I've heard.<P>take it easy, and I hope you'll start feeling better soon!<BR>--andy
