I'm sorry that David is still <BR>moving. I hope that some <BR>kind of x-mas miracle will <BR>happen and he will change his <BR>mind. I don't understand his <BR>need to do this. Marriage <BR>recovery doesn't happen <BR>overnight. Those of us in <BR>recovery know this oh so <BR>well.<P>I'm thinking of <BR>you....hugs....

Sheryl -- Words cannot express adequately how sorry I am for you right now. David obviously has a lot of work to do on himself before he will be ready for recovery. I do so hope that he gets some kind of professional help. He needs some guidance to sort out and expunge his demons.<P>It's obvious that he still loves you, but for some reason he is finding barriers to reconciliation. Maybe the time away will help. I sure hope so.....<P>{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Sheryl}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}<P><BR>--DeWayne--

By the way, I need those of you who care about me to know this:<P>I basically <I>asked</I> for this. I have nobody to blame but myself. <P>I said I wanted a divorce in the heat of an argument - in fact I said it several times. <P>I couldn't fake it and say I was passionately in love with my H. I do love him, but I wanted to begin again (hense the name new_beginning) he wanted it to go back to being like it was before.<P>I pushed him out, in essense.<P>He made the decision to leave at Christmastime, and for that I could smack him around a bit. That was <B>his</B> decision. <P>But it was me that had the affair in the first place. It had nothing to do with his affairs of years ago. Through therapy I have come to realize that it was anger and a crying out. That is not to justify, just by way of explanation. I am not a bad person, I made a bad choice (blah, blah, psychobabble), and most importantly of all, I deserve to be happily married. I was willing to try again with David, but he is not willing to try again with me. He has the romantic notion that I will fall madly in love with him when he leaves, and maybe I will. I'm pretty sure that I won't though - and that's scary as all get-out. <P>I take full responsibility for what has happened in my life. I just wanted everyone to know that!<P>I love you guys!<P>~Sheryl<P>------------------<BR>Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans.<P>~John Lennon
