To anyone out there:<p>I could use some support in staying patient. I was CONSIDERING DIVORCE in the Divorced/Divorcing posting. The following is my last posting in that column:<p>"I have decided to place my effort into paitience and raising my children. It will help me to be comfortable with who I am and who I want to be, while continuing with the research necessary to fulfull my life balance and hopefully my wife's missing needs if I am ever afforded that chance.<p>As it states in scripture and the book from Joyce Meyer's "Anxious for Nothing":<p>BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. PHILLIPPIANS 4:6,7 NASB"<p>As background, my wife was having an affair and is seperated from me. She seemed to be staying on her own and progressing, but is now considering a new affair or following the old one, I don't know. I have decided to stay paitent with the hopes it takes its natural course, but wonder how to do so. This forum has helped to make that decision and I could use more emotional support to make it through this difficult time. <p>I have met someone that is a strong christian, and am friends with for now. However, I am finding it difficult to just hang in there with the thoughts that my marriage can be repaired. When you meet someone that has their head screwed on straight, you can't help but to wonder if D would be better. My counselor has also questioned how long I can hold on. Mainly, due to my wife's deep emotional problems and anger from childhood that seems to never progress into anything positive.<p>My marriage had problems before, due to many reasons, which you can find in my posting. I know that I require critical self reflection out of my wife to put things on track, and that I just want our family in tact. I also don't want to be selfish and move on prematurely. I have changed through my own MLC and I know my wife wants me to wait. She has made statements that it makes her mad that someone else could get me at my best. If she feels this way, how can she continue to put me through this pain.<p>Help me through this please!<p>New beginning
