The key word is <B>REST</B>. Get plenty of sleep & don't forget to eat good foods. I know. I don't sleep & I live on Taco Bell, Pizza Hut & McD's. Not very good for keeping the psyche intact.<P>------------------<BR>Prayers & God Bless!<BR>Chris<BR>For relationship info check out <A HREF="http://www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html" TARGET=_blank>Marriage & Relationship Resources</A>

Sheryl, <BR>I know you must be hurting. You tried working on it, then you thought you didn't love him and was ready to call it quits, then you realize that you still loved him and he decides to be an @$$hole! Hang in there. COntinue to be strong, like you always have been and stay encouraged. We are here for you!<P>------------------<BR>"If you can learn from the mistakes of others, you won't have to make them youself."<P>

Don't give up. Something good has got to come from all this pain and hurt. I just remember that and it makes me know that it is coming soon. (I hope) The unknown is pretty scary. Tomorrow will be brighter.<BR>Nancy

Hi Nancy... Yes, I know you're right... I'm not actually giving up... maybe just seeing my life as it truly is: without my H, at least not as he is meant to be. Like you, I will survive, probably alone.<P><P>------------------<BR>~Sheryl<BR>Broken heart, broken promises, broken spirit... let me rest!

Sheryl!<P>I am gone for a few days and all He!! breaks loose? I am so so sorry for what you have gone through.... I feel so badly for you and what you are feeling right now. (You know why I am so scared to tell H right now don't you? This is like a preview of what I will end up going through. The more I read about it the less I want to tell H!)<BR>Anyway, my thoughts and prayers are with you right now. I can understand what you are going through. I think that he is doing these things to "Get Even" so to speak and at not only at your expense but at his! (I feel like I am seeing my future and it scares me to death!) Oh, and by the way, if his church is any kind of church whatsoever, they should welcome you with open arms and consider you a human being who is remorseful and finding their way back to the Lord. If they don't, then what the He!! kind of church is it anyway? <P>Sending you many many hugs and all my support.<BR>

I noticed you responded... thank you. <P><B>For others, his name is 3wishes, please go look!!</B><P><B>Lacee</B>,<P>Yes, I understand why you are apprehensive to tell, and this <B>is</B> just the kind of thing you can expect. It sucks.<P>Thanks for listening and caring!<P>------------------<BR>~Sheryl<BR>Broken heart, broken promises, broken spirit... let me rest!

Sheryl,<P>Here is your pep talk for today:<P>Repeat your mantra 100 times and truly DO NOTHING!!!<P>Do NOT talk about your relationship with David. Be his friend and nothing else.<P>I am thinking about my sessions with Steve H and Jim's sessions, too. Basically, this can be applied to so many of us, and in many ways is consistent with your lady-pastor's advice. Be a friend, be nice, meet his needs in the way HE wants and do NOTHING right now to work on your marriage because honestly neither one of you have any energy left to do that right now. <P>Repeat that mantra and do NOTHING but be nice. Be nice. Be nice. Treat David as a friend. Be nice. Do NOT talk about your marriage. Be nice....Do nothing...<P>Luv ya,<P>Desiree<P>------------------<BR>"Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort."<P>Sir Humphry Davy<BR>

Hi Sheryl.<P>I will pray for you today as I await word from my h. on his 'no contact' phone call.(sounds sort of funny, no contact contact). <P>I keep wondering what the cosmic purpose of all this is...I mean, how much more 'dross ' is there to burn away? You know, the gold refined in the fire analogy...I mean, it is HOT in the fire and I want to get out!<P>I posted on the Women's Bible study forum about my favorite funny quote from a Christian performer, I think it was Phil Keaggy in the late 70's who was fond of saying of the Romans 12 scripture, "The trouble with living sacrifices is they keep crawling off the altar."<P>That's me. I don't want to learn any more lessons. I want a REST, just like you. I think God knows that we need a break. I'll rest if you do, ok?<P>Please read my alias update.<P>luv ya, kiddo<BR>I'll hang on if you will!?<P>------------------<BR><BR>"I have found the Pearl of Great Price"<BR>

Sheryl,<BR>I know the out of control feeling. I want to give up today but He keeps telling me to do your mantra.<P>Today's my birthday and she said nothing. I wished her a nice day and I barely received a grunt.<P>Until she is willing to see how much I really care there is nothing I can do except to show her love.<P>MONDO HUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<P>------------------<BR>God Bless,<BR>Rob<P><BR>
