Ok, are you 'giving up?'<P>Would it benfit you to know? Would it make more sense, or just make it easier for you to despise her?<P>It sucks really bad to know that your spouse is with someone else. And the insecurity it brings. But I am glad I know. He makes alot more sense to me.<P>And, he's being more affectionate with me now that she is out of the pic.

I sure hope that his clouds lift and he's able to see the light again, soon. Like you, I know what it's like with the ups and downs. Go, leave, stay, sit, run, roll over. Let's just get moving in a direction.<P>Unfortunately, I believe that my direction has been choosen for me and I accept that. I can still resist along the path but it is path that I shall walk with the Lord. <P>Love thy enemies. She is going to destroy something that I hold so precious in my life, I guess that would qualify her as my enemy. I will love her.

Am I giving up?<P>Hell no. But I am accepting reality. If it is happening I need to prepare. It is now May and not long til she moves out. Do I hope that when she moves out that she's miserable? Hell yes.<P>Big problem though. Even if she is miserable I don't think that will change her mind.<P>Glad to see someone getting some affection, my house seams like Alaska in the winter.

Dara,<P>I just called her to find out if she moved our counselling appointment. I can just feel her anger and hatred. She is so short and so cruel. To think that I helped create that is scary.<P>BTW: I'm still in a good mood. For some reason I don't let this get me down as much.
