my thoughts are with you during this tough time. i know it'll be hard for you to be away from your husband.<P>take this time to take care of YOU. heal you heart and soul. Perhaps you will find that a fresh start is exactly what you need. maybe you'll find that being without your husband is what's best for you. and on the other side of the coin maybe your absense will make him come to terms with what's most important to him.<P>regardless of the outcome, your number one priority is YOU. Thankfully you don't have children of your own to consider in this mess.<P>contine saying your prayers and find a church home in CA that you can seek solice in.<P>My prayers are with you,<BR>Z.

mnca,<P>Well, I am on the other side of the spectrum in these situations, and don't always post to those in your position, but I agree with your statement that the marriage should come first. I also agree with what Zebrababy said about finding a church family. Are you back in your home town? Did you have a good church there that you can return to? I don't agree with what the pastor said about the move being something to avoid your symptoms of what got you where you are today. In fact, I think that it is the best thing to do, move away from the "temptation" of seeing OC/OW. It enables you to work exclusivly on the problems without outside interfearance. I hope that things work out for the best in your situation. Just keep trusting in God, and He <I>WILL</I> help you through this.<P>Love,<P>Tigger

Yes mnca,<BR>I agree with you that the marriage comes first even before the pastor. He's not the one sleeping with you... Good luck with your situation! & welcome to California, girl! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]
