I’ve created a small list (it will continue to grow) for me to help me through each day when I feel a little shaky or depressed.

Why I should stay with my wife:

• Her smile
• Her caring heart
• Her pretty eyes
• The way she rests her head on my chest when in bed
• The look in her eyes when I tell her I love her
• Her big nose
• The smell of her hair
• How good I feel when being held by her
• Going for late night walks and holding hands
• Our dreams of the future with each other
• The way she is and the fun she has with the kids
• Drives in the country (gas prices hurts this one)
• Going to breakfast every Saturday at this little diner
• Seeing her sleep with our cat (Abbey)
• Her ugly feet
• Back scratches she gives me
• Her smile when I make her a steak dinner
• She wakes up and wants to be near me in the mornings
• Her love for our home and garden
• The way she sings
• Our love making
• She looks up to me for support
• The fun we have when on vacation
• Going to the drive-in together
• She sits next to me while watching TV
• Her crafts and how they make her feel
• Feeling her pull close to me in bed when it’s cold
• The excitement she has for Halloween and Christmas
• She depends on me to come to her rescue during a crisis (hospital, car accident, etc.)
• She sends me e-greeting cards every morning
• She needs me to call her at 4:00pm everyday while at work
• Her concern for me when I’m sick
• She likes to eat pizza with me
• Her body
• The way she likes to text-message me when I'm not near her


Why I should leave my wife:

• Can’t think of anything serious enough to do this

Have you got anything to share about why you won't leave your FWS?

I am an incurable romantic and I think that is a very beautiful list you have made, makes me feel a little jealous. My H used to worship the ground I walked on and I can only pray that he will feel the same way for me again.

no much more that I can add and I really don't have anything serious enough to add to the not list other than her current behavior, for which I am trying to forgive because I know that the Real W is still there somewhere just lost (Hopefully not forever)

Because I simply can't imagine her not being there...I can't really remember life before her.

I wonder if my H made a list like that before he decided to leave me.

* because I loved him since the moment we met.
* there is this way he smiles at me that I can't live without.
* I can leave the doors to the house unlocked when he is here and not be afraid. He makes me feel safe.
* The way he teases me and knows how to make me laugh even when I am grumpy.
* his belly button (lol)

There are tons of reasons. Can't imagine my life without him.
