I've never done anything like this before, My wife of 11 years is goin gto leave me. We have 5 boys, ages 6mo to 9 yrs. In the past I have been a work-a-holic and generally tired and grumpy when I get home. But now I have a new job, and position in management, Worked my work-a-holic tail off to get here though. I finally have myself to where I don't have to put in all the hours I have in the past, but the PAST is all that my wife sees. I grew up in a home where I was taught that hard work was what a man is all about. I felt I was doing the best for my family by being there financially, more than emotionally. Now I see what I will be losing. My wife tells me there is no hope for repairing our marriage, her heart is cold toward me. I despiratly want to save my marriage. I love my wife, and my kids. Sorry for the long post, but we need your prayers

hi,<BR>i'm sorry your wife is decided to leave you i don't know your situation but i think it's not about you and your wife anymore it's about your five kids.... i think that she needs you more in her life with help with the kids...five kids is a lot of work... that's work by itself she works just as hard as you and i'm sure she wants to work it out with you... but it's seems that she is frustrated.... and very tired...... please try to talk to her before she makes a mistake and try to hang in there and work it out......<P>------------------<BR>liz
