Well after 23 years of marriage... it will all end tomorrow.
I fought for my marriage for more years than I care to remember... I was so close, at least so I thought, but yet I was so very very far.
I'm nervous, and sad in some ways... but in other ways I'm glad that the pain will slowly diminish and I will be able to move forward in my life. That's something I haven't been able to do in a long time.
I wish that this nightmare had never started to begin with... there was nothing I could do to stop it once it began... it is an experience I never want to live ever again.
After the Judge issues his orders, I will pick-up the pieces of what was once my life, and carry on as best I can... with the Lord at my side I look for a better day and a better future.
Even though my wife will never read this... I would just like to say "thank you, honey for being a part of my life".
Thanks to all of you who have listened to me go on and on for the last 6 months. You really helped me come along way... without all of you being here, I'm not sure I would of been able to come as far as I have.
God bless all of you!
Stay Strong!
Wallace

Wallace-

Good luck with everything and know that we're pulling for you. My D Day is coming up any day now so I can relate to your sadness. It's good that you recognize that, with time, you will find true happiness again.

Good luck! - G

Hey Wallace -
I was just thinking about you. I was actually going to start a post and ask if you were around. I just wanted to let you know that we are here for you and wish you the best of luck in court tomm. I felt the same way going into the final court date. After it was done there was an ache in my heart because I knew what we used to have would never be again. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />
I really thought that I would feel different when I walked out of the court room. I didn't. It was like it was just another chapter in my book of life.
Take care of yourself and remember we are here for you and so is God.

We will be praying. Somehow, closure is a very good thing. You still fought the good fight and won. Indeed you did. You are a better man for it all.

Stand tall. Have faith in your heart. You know the truth. You shall have grace and strength.

"Therefore put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes you may be able to stand your ground; and after having done EVERYTHING to stand". Ephesians 6.

You shall stand. God's plans aren't fully revealed to you yet. A brighter future awaits you still. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Thank you all for your prayers and support.

I'm kind of at a loss for words right now, but I want everyone to know that I appreciate everyone here on "MB", more than you can possibly imagine.

Stay Strong!

Wallace

Wallace,

I am new here. I will be facing what you are on 12/3. I have fought a long tough battle. I know how you feel. I love my wife very much and only see a tough path for her in the near term. Here are verses that have helped me get through this nightmare. Do not give up the fight! Stand for you wife.

Proverbs 3:5&6

You are probably meeting with your lawyer at this moment. Just wanted you to know I prayed for ya, and will continue throughout the morning as I'm able.

Heed your own byline...."Stay Strong!" You are an awesome person!

Wallace -
Looked at the clock in my car this morning and it read 7:02am. Thought of you immediately. Hope things went well. Hang in there and don't spend this evening alone.
