You have said it here that you wished to leave her many many times in the past, even before the third affair, but that divorce is not in your vocabulary and you wanted to impress the church and your relatives by staying married at all costs.

I don't recall AB3 ever saying that but it shows a pretty big DJ of AB3 and his motives. Just wondering how your judgements became the truth of the matter.

Stellar we've chatted in the past. How did your heart become as hard as a stone?

All Blessings,
Jerry

Thanks Jerry, Not sure where they got this from either???

Anyone should certainly be concerned with maintaining a good reputation, but I can assure you, reputations are earned over years time, WW threw hers away in days! I would trade mine for a happy home any time...though I know that's not the way it works!

Anyway, baseball game #2 last night. Same story, WW comes, sits WAY away from the team, leaves as soon as it's over. Speaks to NO ONE! Oh...and we won 16-2.

Ab3,

Just curious, what level of baseball is this? I once coached senior Babe Ruth and a tournament Connie Mack team.

Just curious. 16 to 3, is there no mercy rule like a ten run lead after the 4th inninig?

All Blessings,
Jerry

Same song, different verse...We WIN 13-5, Championship Game Monday!

WW was there, way down left field, speaking to NO ONE!

My daughter is home from camp and appears to have gotten strep throat, very high fever. I'll be attending to her the rest of the evening!

hmmm, I see a pattern... As long as WW keeps sitting where she's been sitting, I predict they win the championship!

Sorry to hear about your daughter's strep throat. I hope she feels better soon.

My daughter is feeling much better this morning. I took her to a doctor yesterday and the "pink stuff" seems to have done wonders for her.

WW did text my daughter's phone yesterday asking if she wanted her to come and get her to take care of her. My daughter told me she wanted to stay in her own home, with me, and spent much of the day with her head either in my lap or on my shoulder.

I can't imagine how that would make a mother feel, but I think WW replaced their mother a few months ago (in their minds).

I'm just glad that I was here to help her during her sickness, and that we have friends from our church who were willing to come pick up the other two and allow them to spend the day with them.

The last thing any of us needed was for one of them to get sick too due to exposure to her 103+ temperature...and, I'm glad they could attend church regardless.

We won the tournament championship last night.

WW did come, sitting once again far away from the dugout.

I encouraged my son to speak to her afterwards and thank her for coming...and for keeping her promise! He does, though I can tell he didn't really want to.

Even from that distance, I could sense a softening of her heart (I DIDN'T speak to her).

I'll be curious to one day learn what the counselor tells her today.

Hey AB, how's it going? Any good come from the conversation your son had with your wife at the game? Please let us know how you are.

It sounds as though they had a descent visit last night. M and WW took all 3 kids to a park, and M says it went pretty well. My son is still a bit distant, but who can blame him?

Perhaps the counseling yesterday did some good, I'll know eventually.

I noticed you seem a little subdued. Then I read your blog and have to confess I am extremely curious.

Can you share more now, or would you rather wait?

Not subdued at all. Not much action on this thread as of late, but I understand.

As to the blog, I did allow WW to post once yesterday...after all, it was originally OUR blog. She agreed (through M) not to post anything maliscious, as have I.

I know I'll get blasted for not being DARK enough, but i am hearing positive things about WW now and hope that she can at least repair her relationship with the kids.

And, NO, WW is NOT back home!

AW3,

MB isn't necessarily like a "blog", although some posts are continually kept alive in that fashion.

I think you've noticed that your thread "comes alive" when there is an issue to discuss.

Hope that makes sense.

No, of course not, I get it. Like I said, I understand, there hasn't really been much new happening.

I was surprised too when I saw that she had posted because the post she did was really open and emotional. My thought was "good for AB", SHE does have some feeling left so maybe there is hope.

She does...I think. We haven't actually SPOKEN yet, but she did text me ONCE on Monday saying that she WAS convicted for her bad decisions and that she knew that if she didn't return to God that someone else would be getting her blessings. I have yet to respond. Actions speak louder than words. But, I too was impressed with her post.

M just called and says that WW definitely WANTS to come home.

I fully expected that in time she would. However, actions speak louder than words. I will remain "dark" for now and just see what she chooses to do. I doubt that one visit with a counselor is enough to reverse the trend that started years (not months) ago.
