Well guys and gals, I just wanted to let you all know that I think my marriage is back on track. My wife and I cried and yelled, attacked and retreated for over 24 hours over the course of Monday night and Tuesday. We found out alot about what was going on with each other and found out alot about things that were hurting our marriage that both she and I didn't realize even existed. We overcame roadblocks that by all rights should have torn us apart forever.<p>I was going to be moving out Monday night when all the things finally came out in the open. Thank goodness for doing things that you would never believe you were capable of doing. I did something that went against everything I believe in and I prayed that I woldn't do, however, I truly believe now that by praying that I would do the right thing, that I was moved to go against what I believed in and it was what opened up both of us to the most wonderful and hurtful experience in my life. But we are together once again because of it. <p>I know that this may be some sort of Honeymoon period, but I am committed to her and she seems to be committed to me. I so love her and she has told me she loves me more in the last 3 days than she had in the last 6 months. We are truly happy and both reading the book How to Survive an Affair. We read about a chapter or two each night out loud. Taking turns reading to each other. <p>She says that she realizes that she almost made the biggest mistake of her life. She says that she was living in insanity where even though she recognized things were wrong, they just weren't coming to reality. <p>She wants to go to curch with me and is so committed to us as a couple. She is absolutely the woman that I want and incredibly desire. We will get through this and be stronger because of it I am absolutely convinced. <p>Please pray that our progress continues. I just wanted to let you guys know because there is so much heartache on this board. <p>Stay the course. Do not move out. Do not move out. Do not move out. Do not move out. I came so close to giving up everything in my life that I truly cared about. Do not give up. Strengthen your resolve. I know that many of you have had much longer courses of pain than I have had, however, I believe that no one's pain was any worse than that which I have felt over the last 7 weeks. Not that mine was any worse, but I understand, that is all.<p>Keep hope and your resolve together. Love the one you want. Support him or her even in separation. Trust in God. He is what kept me going. Finally when I quit trying to make things happen and believed that his plan would be the best, whatever that should be, the next day everything changed. Coincidence.... Not a chance.<p>No longer even close to being Almostthrough.
