I think the things I said to him on the phone actually made sense to him!! When he came over last night we drank a few beers & started talking. He said that I was right about some of the things that I said to him (i.e. she's his girlfriend). . . he said he didn't realize that it looked that way & that's not what he wants. He told me when he left this morning that he's got some stuff to take care of (her)!!! He said he doesn't always see things for what they really are. Now if I can just get him to realize that about us.<P>The girls were so happy to see him, they were climbing all over him & he was tickling them. . . it brings tears to my eyes to think about it. They love him so much, why can't he see that?<P>When he was leaving he said something about this feeling like his house, I said well it is your house & we're your family. I told him I believe in him & I don't want to stop loving him. I said please, please just help me to hang on to us just a little bit. I know you don't have alot to give right now, but with just a teeny bit of help from you I can hold us for now & I think someday you'll thank me for it. I don't know how you guys who get nothing at all back from your WS's do it, you're way stronger than me.<P>I know this is nowhere near the end of this mess for us, but it's a good start don't you think? She's going to be out of the picture-I hope.<P>I was feeling kind of unsure about what I was doing, & now I have a second wind to hang on. I believe in what I'm doing again. I actually feel happy!!

Hi Bitsy,<BR>I hope you are right and that she is out of the picture soon...don't give up...your on the right path...And don't give up if she isnt out of the picture right away...Its easy for them to say they are done with ow, but harder to actually do it...I know it took six months for my husband to actually tell ow he was done with her and all the time he kept telling me he was going to end it soon...I'm happy to say that he has finally done just that and is moving back in this week...I don't mean to rain on your parade...I just don't want you to give up if for some reason he doesn't end it right away.<BR>May God Bless You!<BR>lonesome
