Lemonman,

You have been posting here awhile and sort of got off to a rocky start. However, your advice on a recent post: </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Divorce is a PERMANENT solution and you should NEVER EVER EVER threaten or file divorce UNLESS you are willing to go through with it. I don't think you are even near the divorce stage yet. For me it came quickly.....but for you it should come on your terms, when you are ready. Filing DV will not "cure" you or take the pain away. I just won't. I am sure that you know that.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">was excellent. You have become a real asset to this site and I find your views well considered, well reasoned, and to the point. Heck, I even agree with most of them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Just wanted to say, I am glad you have decided to hang around and help, because you are indeed helping.

God Bless,

JL

Taking this from the Mschulter Journal and replacing it Here on this thread, (just seems to fit better) and in addition take away any possible TJ.

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">From lemon man:
Edited: becasue I just don't have the energies to deal with the whole "this is a marriage building site, you should be preaching reconciliation Lemonman".
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Sour male:

From me to You:
If you've taken both your time and energy to write a response, please don't go back to feeling a need to Edit it before you ever even post it (or we get to read it).

Many times "tough love" or just a different perspective is just what is needed on here.

Indeed, some times a sense of balance is missing...... (or PC is just what is expected?).

You do help to counter some of the usual OR typical "advice".
Which I believe is good thing.
It forces us ALL to keep thinking and evaluating.

Some of the best debates have arisen from your posts. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

However, Not wanting you to be "controversial" ... for its own sake.

Simply saying that a bit of a differing "reality" is at times Both healthy and necessary.
Any way, just think about it.
take care

Thank you for the props. I am just in a different stage of my life, so my opinions will change as my experiences change. I hope most people can find personal recovery.........and then hopefully marital recovery. There is more than one way to skin a cat. While I will NEVER fully embrace all of these MB principles, that doesn't really matter, because only a fool would deny that the program CAN work miracles. To each their own. In the end, we are all striving for the same thing.

I plan to keep posting and hope to offer support and opinions to those who may benefit. I understand that for many situations my views or thoughts may NOT apply or be helpful..........I am finally understanding that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> .

Thank you for this thread.
