Frined Sprint posted this on JFO and I felt it needed to be plaed on here too.
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
(Paris Sorbonne,1910) If you get your baby back, great ! If you do not, thats sad but as long as you know you did ALL YOU COULD you are a hero in the eyes of yourself, your kids and God himself. You can be proud and know you won YOURSELF back. No doubt. Earnest recovery is a hero's gig. You are all heroes. * thanks sprint <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Bob, thanks for sharing that with GQII. I think I made my last ditch effort with my WW/STBXW yesterday. If she doesn't want to put in any effort this time I will throw in the towel. I love her, but can't continue like we have been. I feel I have been beaten down by this fight against infidelity and have little fight left in me anymore. I am growing weary and increasingly frustrated over this. I will know that I have done all I can. If it's not meant to be, I guess it's not meant to be.
MIF?

MIF? that sad, but you will NEVER wonder if you could have spent more sweat, effort or patience on giving your W the opportunity to support her marriage.If you can;t get your baby back, piece of mind alone must be the second best thing.
I have followed your story and you have been supportive, patient, magnificent.
You are allowed to do what you think is right now knowing you ran the tank dry.
All blessings MIF.

Otherwise stated by another thoughtful writer, too-often forgotten:
"Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable."
- Sydney J. Harris

Thanks Bob. It is sad <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> but if she doesn't want to put in any effort, then I can't save this thing on my own. I will at least know I did all I could.
Sprint, another good quote. Thanks.
