Hello All,

Just a brief post.

I just wanted to say "Thank you", to all of you here at "MB".

Thank you all for your prayers, and encouragement.

I fought the battle as best I could.. and I am sad to report, that this battle I did not win.

Without this board here, I'm not so certain that I would of been able to come as far as I have.

God bless each and everyone of you!

Stay Strong!

I turned to this verse in the Bible this morning. It had such a strong impact on me, I wrote it down .....here it is ....

2Corinthians 1:3&4

Praise be to God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of ALL comfort, who comforts us in ALL our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

That says it all.

God Bless,
d.

Very sorry to read your news. I want you to know we are with you.

Wallace,

I will send up a special prayer for you tonight. You are NOT alone - God is with you always, thru all things, in every sense. And so are all of us here who are living the same nightmare you've just gone through but as others have said, we WILL wake up totally one day and find the sun shining, and the birds singing, and will know our souls will soar again. Never in the same way, with the same implicit faith (in our fellow man), but soar none-the-less! God promises that. Here is a passage that has been my comfort many a lonely night when my heart was bleeding as I witnessed my WH betray our love and marriage and allowed his heart and soul to be 'sold' to another: Job 11:13-20. This passage has been my life-line at times. I pray it will speak some comfort to you as well.

I just read your previous post and was also moved by the 'quality' of your love. To be able to feel love and gratitude for a WS on the day of your divorce speaks volumes. As much as our (at least my) WS accuse us of not loving them 'unconditionally', what I see on these boards reveals to me repeatedly that THEY have NO CONCEPT WHATSOEVER of the true meaning of that. It's easy to find others to bolster our esteem and sidetrack us with their attentions; it takes a whole different quality of character to carry on and fight the 'right' fight, and to keep on loving our WS even after they've rejected us like so much worn out baggage. I pray God will honor your faith and love with a woman worthy of your affections! Stay strong, and keep fighting the good fight. Stand for what is right, no matter what the cost. Stay in touch! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Hi Wallace: Just wanted you to know that I have been thinking of you. You were there with supportive responses when I was going through my divorce and I really appreciate it. I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better. I found that once the Final Judgment was signed, there was a sense of closure and it was a new beginning for me. I wish the same for you. Take care.

hi wallace,

not sure if you remember me, we came in here at the same time not knowing what to do or what plan A/B were,etc i want to thank you as well as everyone else for your replies, i lost my battle too, we do our best, as my divorce will be finalized the 26th, at this point i'm still praying, i feel as though MB is the only place people don't get tired of listening to the same stories, and it too has helped me be strong, it will be 1 year next month, surviving without my husband and on my own. I know GOD will hold my hand even though my husband chose not to.

Hello All,
I would like to thank you for all your prayers and kind words... it really does help.
Many of us here have fought the battle as best we could. Many of us are still fighting the battle.
No matter what the outcome, all of us will prevail.
Nezi...
I remember both of us hitting the boards at about the same time, and yes we were a mess... make no mistake about it.
My prayers are with you as you approach your day on the 26th. Never give up... the Lord has put it into your heart to stand for your marriage no matter what the outcome... stand, with God at your side, and you will always stand tall.
The Lord will most definitely hold your hand and walk by your side, for he is a just God, and he knows your pain.
Give it to the Lord, and he will comfort you and guide you.
I know your pain as well, and what it's like to be without your spouse for a long period of time... it truly is a nightmare that just doesn't seem to stop.
On the day of my divorce, I had come to terms with it all... I realized that my marriage was truly over and there was nothing I could do about it.
It was a very humbling experience... but it does get better.
Keep in touch, we will be here for you.
WGTT...
Thank you for that great prayer.
I have received comfort from God, and I can only hope that I can extend the same comfort to others as well.
Hope you are doing well.
C++...
I know the pain that you are in, and I thank you for being there.
I just want you to know that we are here for you as well.
You have come along way, put it in God's hands and let him be your focus... he will lead you through this.
Natasha...
Your post moved me.
Thank you for the prayers.
You are so right, the sun will shine again and the birds will sing.
Our souls will surely soar, for the Lord is with us always.
May God bless you always... thank you for being there.
Fingers...
Remember your thread about closure? I think I found the answer to it... at least for me, and I think you might have received your answer too.
It wasn't what I was looking for, and I'm not sure if it was for you as well... but I did bring my marriage to closure the other day.
It is a new beginning, and I'm going to try to take it one step at a time, one day at a time.
Thank you for being there... good to hear from you and I hope everything is going well.
Stay Strong!
Wallace

Wallace -
Sounds like you are staying strong. Glad to see that you have a good outlook on the future and realize that you did everything that you could to save your M.

Hang in there and take care of yourself.
