I have been searching for support groups to help me deal with this insanity. I have found Parents without Partners groups, Divorce support groups and all sorts of other groups, but none on surviving infidelity. I thank God for this website, but I would like to actually meet people and talk to them! <P>I'm lonely. I moved to Michigan, where I live now, for my wife. I don't know a lot of people, especially in my age group. Or people with young kids. I am trying to meet people and make friends. It's difficult, especially when you're so depressed! My in-laws have been tremendously supportive, and so have some of my wife's friends. But, they are her friends. <P>Has anyone ever tried to start a support group for people who's spouses have been unfaithful? I don't want to go to the divorce ones, because I don't want a divorce, and would feel funny talking about trying to save my marriage with divorced people.<P>Anyone have any ideas?<P>Joe

Covenant,<P>I might be a woman, but most days I too would like to kick the OW's a$$! Do I need anger amangement classes I wonder?????<P>Actually, I thought it was postive, because I planned all this horrible, terible revenge on her, but playing it out in my mind keeps me from actually doing it. Kind of an anger release program...<P>Roll Me Away

You might find some help (and some hope) from these websites. Also, Covenant Keepers has support groups all over. If there is not one in your area, they will help you start one. <BR> <A HREF="http://www.covenantkeepersinc.org" TARGET=_blank>www.covenantkeepersinc.org</A> <BR> <A HREF="http://www.rejoiceministries.com" TARGET=_blank>www.rejoiceministries.com</A> <P>Both websites have related websites, and were both started by a couple whose lives were personally touched by infidelity - he left her.

Thanks Kalise. I went to the Covenant Keepers website, and e-mailed them. I hope I can find a group in my area, or if I have to, start one.<P>It's hard sometimes. I know the Lord is with me, but I still feel alone sometimes. I don't want my marriage to end. I never wanted it to end. My wife was pregnant when I married her. I told her many times that was not the reason I married her. Divorce occurred a number of times in my family (my parents, my grandparents, an aunt and uncle) and I promised myself I would be positive who I wanted to marry, and would marry the person who I wanted to be with always and who felt the same way.<P>I love her so much. Dr. Harley's book is helping, but I also need people. This website helps tremendously, but sometimes it feels impersonal, that its' just my PC. <P>Thank you all though. Thank you, and God Bless you.<P>JoeJohn
