Dave,<P>As I posted to Carolina Belle, you can take a sabbatical, but can't retire from MB ![[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]](http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/smile.gif) . Whatever the outcome in your current situation, you'll be a changed man permanently.<P>You're still an inspiration to me, buddy.<P>Steve

Dear WAT and Mrs WAT there are so many of us on this site that want more than anyting a second chance to save our marriages. Mrs WAT, as you read some of your husbands posts I think you will find that evident. I have cried,laughed and prayed many times as I'm sure the others have after reading some of Dave's posts. His commitment, love and loyalty to your marriage and your family has always been very clear. This site is sometimes the only thing one has when the spouse is no longer available to share your feelings. I'm sure once you read some of the information here you will see that there is no such thing as a perfect marriage but there is so much knowledge to gain to make your marriage the most that it can be. My prayers are with you both and your son. God bless.<BR>cybil

WAT and Mrs. WAT - I'm praying for you. Please get past the anger and remember what attracted you both to eachother in the first place. Mrs. WAT - your husband is so sincere in his hopes of keeping the family together. I'm so sorry for the loss of your son. His brother is also suffering. Please rethink your situation. The family unit is so much more important than this decade wants to think it is. HE REALLY LOVES YOU!!!! (and by the way, he NEVER used your name here). <P>But I'll use mine - Debbie<BR>

Wat,<P> I am so sorry for what you are going through. To me, you seem to be one of the MOST sincere, and hardest working at wanting to save your marriage. Not that others aren't trying too, they are. It just seems to me that you have went above and way beyond.<P> Too bad your W cannot see any of that in you. I am sorry.<P> jd

Dear Mrs. WAT...<P>What part of "he loves you and wnat s to work on your marriage and family do you not understand?<P>There are two sides to every marriage problem. We've heard WAT's side and he's done an admirable job of accepting fault. He has come here to get help and mostly INSIGHT from others with similar problems-- how can you fault him for that? He hasn't (as far as I know) gone to your friends, your boss, or anyone else who would make you feel uncomfortable. <P>He has helped many others (including me) work through problems by talking and communicating. What is it that WE see in him that you can't right now?<P>To WAT... she must be a very special lady for you to be so tenacious about keeping her... I hope SHE can see this someday.<P>Good luck... prayers coming...<P>the Hat

Mrs. WAT:<P>I hope you have the temerity to read all of Dave's posts. He has been a mentor, a co-conspirator in jests: whatever what anyone asked of him, he has given willingly.<P>Just as many here responded to him in kind.<P>Having been where you are, I can now look back and realize how fortunate I was that my wife saw things as Dave sees them, and that we had a chance to recover our marriage.<P>I don't know what Dave you know and are mentally measuring him against. But the Dave we know has grown tremendously in his time here. From an acorn has grown a mighty oak. I hope you have the wisdom to rest in its shade.<P>Godspeed,<BR>STL
