I just found out that my wife cashed in her 401k and opened a separate account. Her change of address confirmation form from the post office also came in today. I dropped her mail at her place of employment. I wanted to stay just to look at her but I started to cry. I think the security guard probably thought I was crazy. She would never touch her 401k unless she was serious about staying away for a long time. I don't think that I am going to do very well without her. My zeal for life seems to be going away every time that I look at her picture and she is not there. I am completely lost without her. She was the one thing that kept me going.

I know exactly how you feel. Been there and done that. Don't give up. Focus on yourself and the changes you feel you need to make. Continue to Plan A and be the kind of husband you want to be. These things take a lot of time. Don't be impatient. Above all, turn this over to the good Lord above. <P>Lord, please be with this man in his time of need. Touch his wife's heart to open up to him once again.

Ive been there brother. Its a very hard and painful place to be. There were many times when i didnt think i was going to make it. Life and all. I realized how much i depended on my wife for happiness. What helped me was shifting my focus from my wife on to Jesus. It was a long process but in the longrun has been a life saver and after 3 years of seperation and to hell and back, my wife and i are on our way to starting over with our marriage. Learn to Trust in the Lord with it all and He will show you how real He really is during your times of sorrow. Then He will comfort you and give you strenth to press on and heal your marriage, you and your wife. Dear Lord, i pray that youwould give my brother rest thru his trials of being seperated from his wife. Lord draw near to him and strenthen him and lead him on the way he should go. teach him Lord to trust in you and not the circumstances.<BR>In Jesus name, Amen<BR>Mark
