It's Friday and my wife will work Sat. and Sun. I don't know if she'll come home after work or go out with OM. Finding reasons why "Mommy is late" for the kids over the last two weekends causes incredible grief and depression. I love them all so much I feel no one could understand how strong my love is except them (including my wife). I know this is not her fault and I grieve for her to think of what she's gone through to drive her to this point as a result of my lack of respect for her over recent years. Please understand I've been a good man, but for a while I let my own frustrations in life get the best of me and I have hurt her emotionally, despite the love we have had and shown for eachother. The happiness she experiences with the OM is temporary, but she will have to find out for herself. I keep praying for strength, guidance, and for her well being. The strength seems a little scarce today and it is so hard...<P>Please pray for my wonderful wife, her safety and her happiness. I only hope that God's plan includes that happiness to be in reconciliation of our family forever.

My prayers are with you. My wife of 13 years wants to leave. I started doing Plan A. My wife & kids are visiting family this weekend. They left on Thursday Morning. I am not going to call her. I am working on Sat. so that helps a little. I also been doing a lot of praying.

Thank you MHW. I've done about 3 hours of work all week. Somehow I've got to focus on the daily grind before it catches up with me. Luckily I'm a manager and can buffer things to an extent.

Changed Man,<BR>How are you feeling today? I am at work. My wife has not call me yet? I pray that everything is fine with her & the kids. I hope things are working out with you. I know how you feel. I really love my wife so much.

Dear Heavenly Father, You are our Savior, thank You Lord for saving me from certain destruction. I am ever so thankful for your love, and work You do in my life. Thank You Father for hearing our pleas for help, and for drawing us closer to You. Thank You Father for Your forgiveness, for us as well as our wayward spouses. We are eternally grateful to You. <P>Lord, I lift up Changed Man to You, asking dear Lord for an infilling of the Holy Spirit for him. I pray that the Holy Spirit surrounds Changed Man, comforting him, instilling within him Your peace that passes all understanding. Let him cling to You as his rock, his fortress, his life. Thank You Lord for choosing him to be a member of the kingdom of God. Lord, this man's wife is becoming a wayward spouse, I pray that You will turn her heart towards her husband and home. Reveal to her all that she will lose. Bring her to her knees at the foot of the cross, asking YOu to be Lord of her life. Let her life be renewed in YOu, and their marriaged restored. Give her husband Changed Man Hope Father. Help him to hold on to You while you work a miracle in his wife. Lord we take back what the enemy has stolen in this marriage. The price has already been paid for this sin. Help each of us Lord to trust You more, and increase our faith. Please reconcile the heart of Changed Man's wife first to You, then to her husband. Thank YOu Lord for reminding us that "no weapon formed against us will prosper". You are in control, and Lord of our lives. Thank You Lord for restoring this marriage. We claim the victory in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We know Father that with You, nothing is impossible. IJN I pray, AMEN

Thank You Alchoholic's wife. Yesterday I experienced some sort of depression/anxiety attack that I cannot explain. Possibly just a moment of truth about how critical this situation is.<P>Anyway, thank you and I will continue thanking the Lord and seeking his strength and guidance through prayer while accepting and trying to support My wife's needs right now.

Dear Changed Man,<P>I want to encourage you to hang in there and keep on trusting the Lord to control this situation. Just give it ALL to Him and then let him work in His time. About 3 months ago, my H told me that he had fallen in love with another woman at work - we will be married for 20 years in August. This has been the most painful and difficult thing that I have ever gone through, but I know that God is using this situation to draw me closer to Him. God has really been working miracles in my life. I know how easy it is to become discouraged. Satan continues to attack me despite the progress that we have made. I just keep going back to God. Hang in there, I will pray for you.

Thank you for your kind words. Last Sunday was rough, I never experienced anything like that in my life. I now need to find the strength through God to allow me to function at my job in order to avoid other consequences. I am also praying for strength to allow me to give my children my best when we are together enjoying activities, especially on weekends. Lately we go through the motions, but the true fun and sheer enjoyment that I used to have with them is severely compromised. Sometimes I cannot look at them when we are out doing something "special" together as we have done through the years when "Mommy's at work". All the love is still there but the very reason for it all (my wife's love) is no longer carrying me through. <P>I humbly pray for the strength, guidance, and insight to carry us through this trial without compromising the comfort and emotional joys of life that my children have received throughout their upbringing.<P>Thanks again and I will pray for you and all who visit here.

Just a little update. Didn't feel so weak last weekend although there was plenty of opportunity. Prayer and focus on truth while recognizing and avoiding sources of fear and negative thoughts are the answers. It all begins with prayer and faith in God's truths.
