Hey all,

I just wanted to let all of you know that my wife recently ended all contact with OM. We are progressing with our marriage and preparing for the arrival of our child in the spring. Once "she" is born we'll have the DNA test to determine paternity and face the music together, stronger than we are today.

Thank you all for your prayers and encouragment. And a big thanks to Full House. My W, identies with so much of what you post. It has helped her in knowing that there is someone else who feels the way(s) she does.

She reached out and hugged me for the longest time this past weekend. I told her that I love it when she holds me. When she looked up at me I said, not to long ago it wasn't like this. She responded wryly, "I don't know what you're talking about," and hugged me all the harder.


The road to recovery is not a sprint, and many of us who are wounded by our spouses would like things fixed "yesterday." (at least I know I did)
When I look at things now, I am reminded that God is in control and taking care of us in His time and not mine/ours.


Keep running, even if you fall down.


Love to you all,

Murph

Great news!!! And I agree 1000% with the title of this post---it truly is a marathon. You start out at a reasonable pace, to not burn yourself out.

I'm a sucker for happy endings, Murph. It sounds like you two are well into recovery, taking it one small step at a time. God is granting you patience, understanding and is blessing you with a renewed outlook of your marriage.
