What do you do when you want your partner back so much that you beg, and beg, and beg, and cry, and ask for forgiveness, and you don't want to let go of the good times, and the GOOD SEX, and your body aches because it's not there anymore, and you believe in your heart that you'll never find someone as compatible, and your partner says, <P>never again will you have this, not with me, <P>and you beg, and beg, and pray, and pray, and ask GOD to make things better so you can be together again to get that feeling again,<P>and you know it's not going to happen, distinguishing the difference from reality and make believe,......<P>I'm in so much pain, how do you deal with all these issues, when you're in it?<P>Please reply........

<BR>1.) prayer<P>2.) therapy<P><BR>First, I don't pray to God to ask Him to make things happen for me ... I pray for clarity so I can understand why He makes some of the choices He does, because I sure don't understand them sometimes.<P>Second, therapy doesn't have to mean seek professional counseling, although it might help. Some of my best therapy was spending time alone, with pets, with friends ... doing whatever I could to focus on what was important and GOOD in my life.<P>Hope this helps. It's not a blueprint for everyone, to be sure. Just what helped me get on this road.<BR>

chocatecaramelus..<P>Partner, I know what you are feeling. 711, GDP, & TLC are telling the truth. I would only like to add that I believe that God will not load you up with ,more than you can handle. This gives me comfort because I know I can place this/these issues on his alter to deal with. <P>Secondly. Be at peace with yourself and work on trying to let go. Let go of the pain. Let go of the frustration, Let go of the fear. Things will be OK. You may even find things work out between you two better than you think..<P>Have faith. He has not forgotten you. <P>

chocatecaramelus, I felt like I was reading my own post when I read yours. I know exactly how you feel and the pain is unbearable. I feel like I can barely go in public because everyone else seems so happy. I look at couples & want to burst into tears. My husband just mentioned divorce again tonight. I can't bear to be without him.<P>I know what you're going through & I'm here for you.
