My husband left me 6 1/2 weeks ago. His reasons do not make any sense. He has a history of running when things get difficult. Our problems were minor, really just communication issues. But he was suffering from sleep depravation and nightmares (post tramatic stress). Nothing I have said has made any difference. He won't give me a way to contact him. I have to find him on his job in order to even have any contact. We've been together for 7 years, married for 4. I love this man more than mere words can say. I pray for God's strength and guidance as only he knows what lies ahead. I want this marriage to succeed and will not give up on the hope that he will realize that our vows to each other truly meant always and forever. Please pray that he returns soon so that we can continue our lives and love together.

Soft-flame, Hi. We as women tend to talk too much to our husbands. I'm one of them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> Stop talking and start listening. Don't contact him. Let him contact you. I know it hurts, I've been at this for a long time. I suggest you go to www.restorem.org It will give you new insight on how to be a wife. Buy the books. I bought them a long time ago and have finally started making the time to read them. It took a lot for God to wake me up. It took a big boot to the butt to get me to truely see that I am not alone no matter what. God will never leave me and will be with me through this trial. It's up to you how you want to face the trial set before you. The way of the world or the way of God? Lunadove

Thank you for your reply Lunadove. You are correct that I need to not contact him. It's been over 2 weeks since I last spoke with him. Your advise and that of one of the pastors at the church I'm attending were nearly identical and recieved within 24 hours of each other. I continue to pray that he will stay safe and remember my love for him. I don't know what God has in his plan for my husband & I, but I know that whatever it is will be best. I trust the Lord to be at my side and that does give me some peace. This is the most difficult and painful time I've ever experienced in my life. I love my husband so very much, I miss the laughter and joy he brought to my days. I miss his smile. I miss everything so terribly much.
But, I do know God will prevail. That knowledge keeps be going day after day.
