Hey Dog,

Your home. Is your wife home too? What's going on?

She was home all of 15 minutes. Very angry today. She went out and haven't seen her for about 6 hours now.

DF:

FH's post a few pages back was right on the money, including:


Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am the "opposite" of 2Long with respect to the faith in God issue, I AM a Christian who believes in the sanctity of marriage and the Christian concept of servanthood (especially as it pertains to a husband/wife scenario).


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Yes, we are opposites. I'm spiri2al and open-minded. FH is religious.


Dogfood - 2Long is quite right you know. I am religious. He likes to use that term in a derogatory way and I like to use it as a way to describe a believer who believes in God, Christ, the Word of God, etc.

I am not "open-minded" when it comes to doing things that are contrary to what God has revealed in the Scripture, but I just as certainly fall short of perfection and occasionally make mistakes from time to time.

Likewise, 2Long is open-minded to everything and anything, just so long as it is not Jesus Christ and God or anything related to "God created." He can, and has on many occasions, offer good MB based advice that is useful in recovering marriages. But he is not one to turn to for biblically based advice as he is an avowed atheist.

However, for the sake of your struggle, I am going to retire from the thread to avoid any more of 2Long's attacks being a potential distraction to the help you are receiving and the support that you need.

Go with God and my prayers are for God's will to be worked out in your life and in your situation.

God bless.

Hang in there. Hopefully she'll be in a better mood later. I think you've got a good, thoughtful plan going.

Ask her if she'll take your next call 2 SH on your dime.

P.S. I see FH posted 2 me. "ignore" is cool! FH, you can ignore me 2, and we can then both ignore one another harmonisouly!

DF,

Stay out of this battle. 2long's problem is that he just can't understand variation in radioisotopic decay and the inherent inaccuracies it causes in carbon dating. Scientists - so closed minded. Sheesh.

None of this has anything to do with infidelity.

Quite possibly because the header on his post reads:

Just a guess.

Eh, I'm going to get in the middle of it. Both opinions are well respected by me.

As for the current sitch, she came home last night in a decent mood, grabbed the divorce papers and said she is going to sleep because she has to get up in the morning to "do stuff". Guess the decision has been made. She wasn't angry=no more conflict.

DF... I missed something. Didn't know there were divorce papers.

Do you have a lawyer?

Just keep engaging her an meeting her ENs and drag her back into conflict. She could go into withdrawal because you were away for a few days, and that wouldn't be long enough to miss you. Just keep making it hard for her to leave you.

GC and JMWC,

She has the papers for an uncontested dissolution.

I will keep going on with what I am doing.

Most likely she hasn't decided on what she is going to do, she just is hurting right now and wants to rub these papers in your face to try and hurt you as well. Just be Teflon, Dog.

Welcome to 2Long's "list."

Ignore him, he's just acting like he's in the fog and is simply attacking anyone who irritates him or disagrees with him. 2Long hates me, so don't get caught up in his feud with me. He's probably paranoid enough to think that this post too is directed at him. Keep focused on trying to help Dogfood.

God bless.

FH,

I haven't seen many people you DON'T feud with. Whether I continue to try to help a poster or not certainly won't be dictated by you. You are the one I choose to ignore. 2long is just fine by me regardless of whether his beliefs coincide with mine or not. Oddly enough, my personal beliefs are more closely aligned with yours than his if what you say about him is the truth. Regardless, I cannot tolerate your brand of terrorism. I live with people equally as fanatic as you and they think you are totally wrong in your beliefs. Imagine that. The message is not your problem - it's the presentation.

Hiroo - it may well be my "presentation." Could you point out what I said in this thread that was objectionable to you? Obviously there was something that 2Long found objectionable that prompted him to begin yet another attack. Sometimes we don't know how we are being perceived and it never hurts to learn from constructive criticism.

Thanks.

P.S.

I understand. You asked me a long time ago to not post on your threads, and I have studiously avoided your threads or even directing a post to you on any thread in an attempt to honor your request. I'm not sure what I said in the previous post you responed to, but rest assured I am not about to TELL you what to do. All I did was suggest that it would be more fruitful to forget any dispute between 2Long and me and concentrate on trying to help Dogfood however you saw fit. My apology for saying something that you interpreted as some sort of "attack" on you. It was not intended that way at all.

Guys,

I don't see how any of this is helping Dog regain his M.

That is why he posted here after all!

Well that was kinda my point wasn't it.

Dog - she thinks you will give her an uncontested divorce? Huh? When do you plan on disabusing her of that notion? Do you have a lawyer yet?
