Dear betrayed spouses everywhere,<BR>My H and I are separated now -- we're in Plan B after I tried Plan A for 2 months and he continued to become less and less responsive to me meeting his emotional/physical needs.<BR>He's on his own in another state now, but OW will be joining where he works in a month.<BR>He says he still loves me, but doesn't want to give up "the best relationship he's had" with OW. We have one child (young).<BR>This whole experience is trying my patience BIG TIME! Each day feels like a year and sometimes I don't know if we'll ever reunite, yet have seen many flickers of hope that we will. Please pray that Satan's plans are blocked, that my H and OW will become so overwhelmed with guilt/disgust about what they've done that they'll be repulsed by each other. I know I've made many mistakes in our marriage and want to go through counseling, move, change our lives completely in order to make our marriage new and whole. I pray God will soften his heart enough to hear and feel that message, too. Any ideas on how to pass the time?!!<BR>faithfulone

I can feel your pain. I too don't know how to pass the time. I have only been on Plan A for about a week, seems like years. Today was a low day for me I just don't know if its worth all the time and energy any more. Then I look at my 2 kids (8 and 15months) and just have to somehow hang in there. I have cried my heart out to God many a time. It seems to help some. I too wish that something would break up my H's so called happy life with the OW. I pray every night that God will get a hold of his heart and that he will see this thing for what it is. He has been living with OW now for over a month. He has been having the AF for almost 1 year now. I found out the end of June last year. It seems like years ago. I try to keep myself busy with my children and church friends. It is not easy waiting. I have not been a patient kind of person. We all seem to live in a hurry up world. This is no exception. I want this over with now. I guess God is trying to teach me patience and I'm not liking it at all.<P>One great thing that has helped me is this web site. I think I would have lost my mind without it. I don't post very often but come and read alot and get help that way. It's great to know that you are not alone in all of this.
