Hi loveless.
I read your thread and it is too complicated for me to make a reply.

JL will do a good job helping you, though!

I just wanted to say one thing.
Your ID name is wrong.
Following is why you are not a 'loveless man':
"We have 3 daughters; 8, 4, and 2."

Very sincerelyly, Julie <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Loveless, you are not loveless. You love your family, your daughters. I feel your pain and want to give you my support. I don't have much advice to give, just hang in there and trust GOD.

Just curious, is the oldest D yours?

I can certainly relate! My best answer to "how are you doing?" is "I'm still surviving." For a while there, I couldn't answer the question at all as I would begin to cry everytime I was asked - even by strangers at work... It was awful! It's still awful! I, too, feel nauseous most of the time. I can still barely eat anything at all - and sometimes, my body doesn't accept the food I offer it. I don't know how long it will take before this gets any better. It helps me to know that I'm not "crazy" and that I'm not alone in this...

Hang in there folks.

It does get better.

The rawness, the intensity, the panic, the desperation... none of this is permanent.

There are stages through this. 7 months later, I still miss her. I'm still lonely. And yes, it still hurts, but in many ways I can honestly say I'm doing better than ever.

There are lessons buried in this horror. Look inside. Find them. You can learn and grow from this and when you come out the other side, whether your marriages are saved or not, you can find yourself a different person. Stronger, wiser, more equipped and prepared for happiness than before.

Have faith in yourselves.
