Hi Ammon, <p>Just wondering...... I see your 3 posts today yet you seem like you are familar with MB. Have you been here before? <p>Here is your first:

<strong>davyboy --<p>I agree with Anna--Why not try to work on this marriage? 1981-2001 = long history and investment. I think that becoming "great friends" and having "frank discussions" are solid places to start to rebuild. Both of the recommended books are excellent.<p>Yes, I believe that an "intimate loving relationship" can grow where none existed before and with so much negative history between you. I think you've made a good re-beginning between you two but it is about fixing yourself as a person first (for her too!) and then things have a much better chance of working out.<p>I'll be around here for the holidays and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Peace to you, your boys, and your wife.</strong><hr></blockquote><p>You appear to be very supportive. This is good. What brings you to MB?<p>L.<p>[ December 23, 2001: Message edited by: Orchid ]</p>

Orchid --<p>I am so sorry that I haven't responded sooner to your post to me. I had lost the thread to NurseBetty and found it again only this morning. I wasn't ignoring you; I was floating around with other people and posts. I'm glad I've reconnected here!<p>Yes, I am new to MB, certainly as a poster, but I've been lurking for a good couple of weeks. Thank you very much for your kind welcome. I need to be here and have found much help and support already just by reading the far-too-many similar stories to mine. Maybe I should just post my own tale and maybe collect some advice aimed specifically at me. <p>I hope this gets to you since it's at the end of a rather old thread. If I don't hear back from you after a bit, I'll figure some other way of responding. <p>This is a wonderful place!<p>Ammon

Ammon,<p>Thanks for your response. Belated welcome to MB then.... <p>Please post your story and I am glad you have been able to learn and grow here. We all have. <p>Take Care,
L.
