I am still in training...but he called me and we met for lunch with the boys...the boys have been missing me as I have been gone from 7-5 each day...<P>While talking to me he told me that he was moving the rest of his stuff to his friend's house...(a good friend that I know as well...the friend has also told me that he is pulling for us and will 'talk' to H whenever he can...)<P>But, his moving again proves my signature statement #3..Don't make assumptions..I was thinking that we were doing so well... It hurts, but not as much...I was getting used to sleeping w/ someone again [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]...regular sex [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] and all that...and it's not like he really 'came' back...he never has really left...just sleeps somewhere else.<P>Can someone teach me the word b-o-u-n-d-a-r-i-e-s? I can say it; I can spell it...but apparantly I have no idea of the real meaning...for me...<P>My first instinct was to take off my rings, but I'll probably put them back on again.<P>I am just so discouraged....and tired...<P>Cali<P>------------------<BR><I>Live Impeccably In Your Word.<BR>Don't Take Anything Personally.<BR>Make No Assumptions.<BR>Do Your Best Always. </I>

I'm so sorry, hon. hugggzzzzzzzzz<P>Keep your rings on, ok?<P>Help me - I'm a little confused. I thought things were going better - your trip and everything. Why is he leaving? What has he said?<P>You've been such an inspiration here. I know you are tired. And rightfully so.

I'll cry for you ok? Here I go.... You will be all red-nosed and puffy faced in just a few minutes, then you will feel better. Wait. I'll be red-nosed and puffy-faced, but you'll feel better. That way, no one will know. ok? <P>hugggggzzzzzz.... <P>tell us about it later, ok? we'll be here. <P>------------------<BR>Faith1<P>"Then Jesus answered, 'Woman, you have great faith!

Cali,<P>Don't freak out. Your marriage is not over. Keep your rings on. Please.<P>Your H will be in a safe place. You have made so much progress in the last couple of weeks. Both for your marriage and for you. You have given your H so much to think about that he probably can't get you out of his mind if he tried right now. I bet he has "The History of Cali" on his bedside table. <P>I don't know how you stop expecting, but you need to. I have no experience to offer here. <P>We're all hurting for you and wishing you the best. <P>--Jeffers<BR>
