Thanks for asking. I am just finding it really difficult to post. My H is living in temporary military housing. He's spending a lot of time at the house--I didn't get Plan B going. He wants to reconcile. I say that until I see the changes & they last, I don't want him to move back in.<P>I feel like I let him back in Nov mainly to make the holidays easier, I doubted he was ready to be home. He needs to be on his anti-deps and he needs to see the counselor. He brings up divorce nearly every day as he tells me he wants to work on our marriage.<P>He chose to leave again, I say he lives with that choice for awhile.<P>I know I'm sliding a bit away from the Harley Plans...but it is 2 years since our trouble began, over a year since he confessed his affair, and now about 5 months since he ended it the last time. <P>I know I have done the right thing in keeping my love & commitments to him for all of this time, but when he walked out this time, my lovebank hit absolute empty. Yes I know love flows from Christ, but this is an unrepentent man who has continually turned to leaving his wife and children as problem solving.<P>Well, I guess y'all can see why I'm not posting. I'm making a tough decision and feel less than able to help others.<P>------------------<BR>Lor<BR>"Do not get tired of doing what is right, for after awhile you will reap a harvest of blessings if you do not get discouraged and give up.

Lor,<BR>I will pray for you. I know the military adds an extra stress with these situations. I will keep you in my prayers. <BR>I am asking for prayer. I saw my husband tonight. I asked him if we could have coffee sometime. He said yes sort of non affectual. But then said how about Sat. I think he might of thought oh here we go she wants to talk about us. But actually I plan to stay away from that. I plan just to sit down and talk like friends. We use to be best friends. I hope this is not too premature, but he at least agreed. So please pray that God goes before us and makes the path smooth. Pray that we have pleasant talk and enjoy each other's company. Pray that our conversation is connected and fun. Pray that if he gets into the topic of us I will not get on my soapbox and try to convince him to come home. Pray he sees a difference in me and his interest at least is rekindled. Pray that he participates in the conversation so it is not all me leading. It's a lot I know but I really need it. Thanks everyone. I am praying for you all.

POGP, AW, Cozy thank you for your prayers.<P>Hw--from your lips to God's ears.<P>Ok, if anyone sees a post from "Guard" that's my H, he just registered in MB today, doesn't know where he would post. I explained that everything JUST changed. He's trying so hard to find God--who has held him in His hands this whole time. But...H feels "weird" to me...I don't know if this is genuine.<P>We agreed that the POPW would be "my place" and he could post or read any where else.<P>Again, thanks for picking up the ball (forum) I wasn't able to keep up with.<P>Love,<BR><P>------------------<BR>Lor<BR>"Do not get tired of doing what is right, for after awhile you will reap a harvest of blessings if you do not get discouraged and give up.

Thanks for letting us know how you are doing. I am so sorry for your pain. But please know we are all here for you and praying for you. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and soul. He will get you through this difficult time. Count on us, too, when you need to unload. You have helped us all in the past. And God comforts us not to make us comfortable but to make us COMFORTERS. So I hope we can be of some comfort to you in your times of trouble. Blessings, J

Lor, I feel encouraged for you that at least your husband is trying to find God. With all of us praying for him to come back to living for God, how can he not? We're all praying for you too Lor. Being separated from your husband is such a hard time. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers every day. <P>HW - What time will you be meeting your husband for coffee? I'd like to pray beforehand and during for God's divine intervention. Keep up your faith, girl. Like I keep telling Mitzi, it will be worth it!

Lor,<BR>My thoughts are with you. I hope his intentions are sincere and you see these efforts for a sustained length of time. <P> You have been a trooper and when asked if you have given "all", we shall all agree.<P>-Tina
