That my H would recognize what I needed from him & give it to me. (It's not like I haven't told him, but he doesn't seem to get it).

My wish is to have my W back for just 1 day and not have to deal with the WW and her Bill Clinton type mindset. Just 1 day where my children eould not have to worry about anything but the stuff a normal 12 & 13 year old would worry about. Just 1 day, just 1 day.

My wish would be for my WH just to say he is sorry he has caused so much pain and for him to really mean it. I think that would mean more to me than anything else he could do.

That is heartbreaking to read.

This is why I hate infidels.

I think it would be for WH to have HOPE that things can be different. Or maybe that he would WANT to have things be different.

My wish is that she accept and admit responsibility for the wake of damage she's caused in our family's life and come back home.......


There is a clock on the wall ticking. I don't know where it is or what time it is but she's waiting for something. Actually, I think I found the clock. I can't see it clearly enough to read it though....

To have the custody battle for OC be over.


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

That I could go back and be less right and more loving towards my ex-wife. That my love would have been more evident and effective than it ever was. That she could/would realize that she was loved, even if imperfectly, that there was nothing that couldn't be forgiven.

I wish I was better able to give both voice and action to the love I had for her in my heart.

I would want my H to tell me that he loves me and only me and is sorry for what he did to our marriage. I would want him to tell me that he realized what a mistake it was to get involved with OW. He never could say he was sorry and that hurts.

My H has always thought that Valentine's day is an over-commercialized holiday made to get get people to spend money. (How romantic huh?) Funny thing was he never seemed to think that way when OW around. He actually wanted to buy her cards and flowers and did a few times in their time together. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I want the same as Katie. For him to see hope in our relationship. Give us a chance and try to work on it. Instead of shutting me out.

Maybe just a kiss would also be nice.

This is tough....

I'm in recovery and my H is very sorry for what happens and wishes everyday that he could take it back...so I feel selfish asking for anything...some aren't as lucky...but everyone here is on the right path.

My Valentine's wish would be to feel safe again...to feel as confident in my H as I did before. He was always my hero and I held him on a great pedastal that wouldn't be reached by anyone.....now I realize he's human. And I would like to remove the sadness from my heart.

I'm thankful to be where we are in our M...and I realize the A can't be taken back.

I'd have to third Katie's comment. That my wife could have not only the hope, but the confidence that things can be better than either of us can imagine.
