I am asking for prayers for my husband to return to our marriage of 26 years. 11 months ago when I confronted him about the affair he was having with a woman 21 years younger, he said he would end it. I printed off everything from the Marriage Builders site to try to restore our marriage. He never ended the affair and left to live with her. Can this be some kind of midlife crisis? I pray constantly for his return to reunite our family. Even though our kids are grown (youngest of 3 is 17) they are crushed. We used to be such a close family--we did everything together---he was a great husband and father through our years together. It's been so long now---I am trying to hang on and not loose hope. Please pray. Thank you.

I will pray for you today. The midlife crisis thing may be true. I can only recommend the book "surviving an affair" I'm not saying it can help the immediate situation but it was a source of comfort and understanding for me as to how these things can happen and what you may expect.<P>Good luck and God bless. See my posts in Infidelity/questions and prayer requests. At least you will know we're not alone here.

Thanks so much for responding---most of all thanks for your prayers. Will check out the posts and the book.<P>Talked to H today and he sounds lousy. He is now out of work and I can tell he is drinking again. He is a recovering alcoholic and has not had a drink since 1987. Please find it in your heart to pray for him. Thanks<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Changed Man:<BR><B>I will pray for you today. The midlife crisis thing may be true.

spiritclicker,<BR>I will be praying for you and your husband. I can deeply empathize with you in that my husband is an alcoholic, still drinks a LOT, and has had numerous affairs. The booze drags them down, numbs them, and takes away any morals they had. It is definitely a tool of the enemy. God bless you dear sister, I hurt for you. <P>Blessings,<BR>AW

Dear Alcoholic's wife,<P>Thanks so much for your prayers and blessing. I will be praying for you also. They tell me 'we must have faith'. I am learning that. Hope you're doing OK and thanks again for taking the time to post.

spiritclicker,<BR>I will pray for you, your kids, and your H. Please know that we all care about you. You and other people here have been helping me alot, and I'm sure you feel the same. Come back here as many as possible when you need comfort.<BR>MF
