WH contacted OW after 5 weeks---i am hurt, I am sad, I am getting mad! I thought we were past this, and moving forward, but.......I feel so discouraged.<P>He promised not to call OW again, but when do you stop believing..........When is the time to "cut your losses"??<P>I just need a little more effort from him for me to keep up the faith----would you please say a prayer for my H to get out of the fog completely?? And give that effort to his family......<P>Just needing a little encouragement---thanks all!<P>Krystal

Remember, they ARE "addicted" - treat him as such. Addicts take a LONG time to "get over" their addictions. Sometimes the desire for the addictive object is just too strong to keep them away, no matter how much they really want to. Continue to pray for him for NO contact....he needs that from you. Plus, how did you find out about contact? Did he tell you? If so, this is a positive sign that he's not doing it to start the relationship up again, he's just still weak.<P>I don't know when it's "time" - I only know this is a loooong process to get over, and you've got to be strong to get through it. With God's help, you know you (two) can do it.<P>Dear Lord, <BR> Please help K and WH to draw closer to you, and not to look around at the OLD things. Father, build their M stronger and more loving every day so WH has NO more desire to contact OW, or take calls from her. Father, we know this is not your plan for a husband and wife, so please show WH that K is his "oneflesh" and to run from OW. Place a hedge of thorns around him, so she is repelled by him, also, and has NO MORE desire to make contact, either. Father, make OW leave him ALONE to work on his M. Take away any hurt in her heart, so she can move away and seek you, also, to repair the things in her life that are not Your will. We pray in the name and for the glory of Jesus. Amen.<P>Lupo<BR>

Lupo---My H was acting different (standoffish, moody, etc). I knew something was different and wrong---So, I kept asking, and asking. He lied at first, but then he told me the truth.<P>He called her at work and left a message (after bombing), telling her to be careful. She works in a Government Plant where bombs are assembled-----Where he used to work. A very high risk place for terrorism. I knew H would call her on that day. But he said that he just left a message---not to call him back-----yea right.<P>He promises no more contact---I am really trying to be understanding, but everyone in my life is getting tired of him. He has hurt me badly, and everyone including my family, thinks I should move on. I have held strong, but my strength is waivering, and I am having a hard time loving my H right now.<P>Thanks for the prayers! Love to you!<P>Krystal

Faith,<BR> <BR> I will be praying for you. Have you checked out <A HREF="http://www.restorem.org" TARGET=_blank>www.restorem.org</A> <BR>It is very good and it is all biblical. Please don't ask your husband questions like that, it only makes things worse. Just keep praying about no contact and let God do his work. I am afraid if you ask to much, you will push him away.<BR>Send me an email at yahoo if you need a friend.<BR>Barb <P><BR>
