Hi Gang,<P>I have a "meeting" scheduled for Friday afternoon with my W Val. The purpose is to discuss the road we should travel regarding D vs reconsiliation.<P>Brief update: I am still in Plan B. Only one phone contact originating from me this year concerning her living arrangements. Her OM told me she had moved in with him. Couldn't let that go by. I have sent nice cards reiterating my love for her. I have also received some nice notes from her. Yes, Jim the ice cream one. Maybe CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>She called me Monday to say that she hasn't heard from me for awhile and what was up? I asked if she got the documents to finalize the D. Yep, she has had them for a week and told me she doesn't know what to do with them. Being stuck on stupid, I thought to myself, Just sign them and mail them to my lawyer and in 30 days if will be all over but the crying. Later I figured out she meant she didn't know whether to sign them or not. Can you say "Medic is a jerk?" <P>So, I ask all of you to help me on Friday. A prayer or kind thought would be so appreciated.<P>Any suggestions would also be great. I miss and love my "Bunches"<P>Wishing us all the Best.<P>Tim<P>PS I'm glad that the other thread has finally been put to rest. It was not my intention to stir the pot.<P>If you are interested in seeing my clan or if you wonder what the village idiot looks like E me at Moose7771@AOL.COM. I just put together a web page. Some of you have seen it.

Medic: Sounds like this is your chance! How about:<BR>1.Tell her that you want to stay together, and what would it take from you to make that happen?<BR>2.I have read a lot of your previous posts and it sounds to me like she wants to feel as though she is the most important thing to you, and that you can be trusted, i.e. if she comes back will you keep up the good behavior.<P>Our counselor told my husband and I that if he gave 100% to me first, that he would get back 200%, and that was true. Once I could trust that he was really and truly committed to the marriage and me, it enabled me to break down walls and give it all and more back. <P>Go for it!<BR>

Father, I just pray that you will be present and help a bridge to be built between Tim and Val, and Lord, I know you hate divorce, so I pray that you will help Tim and Val to be in a place in their lives that pleases you. IJN, AMEN<P>
