I agree with you 100% but having an affair and divorce is not the same as suicide and how cold of you to even argue that point.

Please, give me a break.

I was once like that too. I am not a horrible person but I have done some horrible things and regret them every minute of everyday.

Ok, this is very important!

You used to do these things. Do them again.

If you D your H, and move onto another relationship, you will do these things with your new man. For awhile. It will be new, and fun, and you will do all these things. And then he will do somethign stupid, or say something hurtful, and you will not feel like doing these things. and one day you will wake up and realize that it has been 2 years since you kissed him. and you wil mourn the loss of intimacy again.

When I had been married to my new H for about 3 months, one day we had an arguement,and I said to him "when you said X, it made me sad. It hurt my feelings" and he did not respond. Later that night he went to bed w/o kissing me. The next morning, he left for work with no kiss.
That night I said "lets not get into this bad pattern. Lets decide right now that we will always kiss" and we have. And it has made all the difference in the world. He has hurt my feelings again, but I kissed him anyway. I have hurt his feelings as well. But he kisses me anyway.
it was a choice. A decision. I don't sit around waiting for him to kiss me, I walk up to him and plant one on him. I don't get mad and decide that if HE thinks that I am going to kiss HIM, then he is WRONG! I decided that I want a good M, so I am taking action. period.

I am so dismayed.

Rain's husband sent her here for help.

And many of you have done nothing but insult, name call, and suggest suicide.

Is this the best MB has to offer?

Yes, she is foggy. But your shock tactics aren't going to do anything but drive her away....And this was her husbands best hope.

For the sake of her betrayed husband, if you can't be decent or compassionate -- then couldn't you just stay off her thread? And maybe let someone reach her?

Yes...thank you for understanding. It makes me angry and makes me want to prove everyone wrong and jump into something I shouldn't out of anger.

introvert.

If you were desperate for someone to reach your spouse and try to cut through the fog and instill some of the marriage-buiders principals, is this how you would want them to be treated? to recommend suicide?

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.


...in turn.....you.

No I wouldn't, if it were a real person with a real problem. This is a troll, not a person.

A troll is someone who makes up a story that "pushes the buttons" of people who are in tremendous amounts of pain. A troll does that for entertainment.

The problem, as I see it, is that a "foggy" wayward and a troll can look, sound, and behave in similar manners.

Then why not discuss your problems with lexxxy or someone who is here being helpful to you, instead of just baiting others? wouldn't that be more helpful?

Hi Womanoffaith5,

I really like your advice. My FWH just returned yesterday from deployment... well I've been feeling not wanting to show loveable emotions to him, I'm kinda being distant right now. But when you've mentioned that you just show affection, whether you feel like it or not, well I needed to read/hear that, so thank you.

I remember one sermon at church, when our Pastor was talking about commitment... that love is not a feeling, it's a commitment. It's hard for me at times to try to put that into practice, but coming here reading posts like yours, is very inspirational. BTW, I like your name.

Rain... I'll be praying for you and your situation.
