Dear God,<P>This has been an incredibly hard year for us. My marriage is in shambles, mainly due to my actions. I betrayed the man I love more than anything. I am sorry, and I have asked for forgiveness. My dear husband fought for me for so long, until he just couldn't fight anymore. <P>Now he is in his own "fog". I look at him and see me a few months ago. I know the pain and confusion he is suffering from. I want him back. I would love for a second chance, to try and build our marriage into something even better than it was before. But I'm afraid it's too late. My "turn-around" is doing more harm than good. My husband decided he wanted to move on, and now that I've come back, he's not even sure who he is anymore, let alone what he wants.<P>I'm sorry for putting my family through this. I'm sorry for hurting the one person I swore not to ever hurt. I'm sorry that I came back a little too late.<P>Whether or not my marriage survives, please help my husband through this trying time. He needs your guidance, as he doesn't know which way to turn. He loves me, but is unsure if he could ever forgive me. <P>I don't know if we will make it through this ordeal as husband and wife. I pray that we at least make it through this as "whole" people again.<P>Life is too short to suffer this way. Please help us both learn to live again.<P>lost_in_love

lost_in_love,<P>I pray for you and your H.<P>I may be moving into the same situation as your H...<BR>...my W will likely sign the divorce papers this or next week...<P>...and she's not looking back...<P>I don't know if she'll ever get to the point of realizing the devastation she has brought upon herself, and me and the three kids she has left with me.<P>I hope you H can find that deep forgiveness...<BR>...and it will be hard!<P>If not...<BR>... I hope both of you can look to God and find peace in a hard-hearted world.<P> <P>Jim
