I can honestly say I don't know where I would have been without all the support of the Marriage Builders forum. It is so sad there are so many new names daily. My husband and I have finally found the love we thought (he thought) was lost. While I will continue to check in from time to time, I believe it is time for my daily visits to cease. The familiarity of everyone's situation still hurts.<P>I guess my moving out and him moving to another town was what we both needed. He saw that I wasn't the source of his problems. The problems were within himself. I learned that putting the housework and everything else in front of taking care of him was a mistake and one that will never be repeated.<P>Prayer and living on faith has been the key for me. Pray for your spouse daily. Pray for changes within yourself as well as them. Try to be patient. Try to avoid confrontation, as hard as they may be. Try to love yourself and forgive yourself for any wrongdoing in the marriage. Only then will you be able to forgive them.<P>I am looking for a job where my husband lives with my company. It may be awhile before I make the actual move there. In the meantime, I am "resting". <P>I helped the girl who I took in get a job at a local resort that will last through the summer into fall. She did get her G.E.D. and seems to be doing well. She isn't thrilled about being "stuck" in a remote area, but her moving with me is not an option. <P>All of you -- thanks so much for the support and advice. My love to you all.<P>
