WOW!! You've fought the good fight, and better than most of us (including me!)... <P>No regrets... what a concept!!<P>------------------<BR>~Sheryl<P>And we know. We who have seen. ~Pellegrino

Are you really at the 2 year mark!?<P>Hard to believe....I'm glad you are positive about it. It shows how you have done all you could do. My hat goes off to you!<P>Bill

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! Here's to a great future for you!

Two years? HAH!<P>That was 5 months ago!<P>------------------<BR>Prayers & God Bless!<BR>Chris<BR>For relationship info check out <A HREF="http://www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html" TARGET=_blank>Marriage & Relationship Resources</A>

I thought it was over 2 years ago. Yer ageing me here, Chris....or should I say I'm ageing me. <P>I was wondering around the 2 year mark if you were going to file, but then I didn't see you post anything, so I thought you were going to keep it quiet.<P>You did your best and I am so proud of you. I hope things are going good for you and those wonderful girls. <P>Please continue to update us...I still am hoping for your wife to return and help restore your marriage. If that doesn't happen, I hope you find a wonderful woman deserving of you and the girls (after you are ready for that, of course)!

OK Chris, <P>Fess up. What has brought this on? I know you are past the two year mark and you said you went back to school, so what has changed?<P>Are your D's alright with the decision? Are you alright with it?<P>You have been conspicously quiet lately. So fess up my man. <P>God Bless,<P>JL

((((((((((((((((((Chris)))))))))))))))))))<P>JL's right......what's up??...<P>now, was it the Pepsi or the Coke??<P><BR> <P><BR>many good thoughts being sent your way....for you and your wonderful daughters....<P><BR>Dylan

(((((((((Chris)))))))))))<P>I'm very happy for you. You have been thru a lot, you held on to your beliefs and you had more strength than most to hang on so long. I'm glad to see that at the end, you feel ok,and healthy about it, rather than 2 years later being extremely sad like I was at that time.<P>You've worked hard and learned a lot and it shows! Good luck,<BR>Dana<BR>

Chris,<BR>Long time no see. I've been lurking though...<P>I'm glad you can do this without regrets. You've definately done all you could do.<P>Sometimes, even though you've reached the point where it is what you want... it's still difficult to deal with. Just remember we are here for you!<P>Take care & Keep in touch.<BR>Dawnetta

Oh my gosh! I just looked at the date on the calendar and realized that today is MY two year anniversary date of disvovery!!!! I guess I'm on the road to recovery since it nearly slipped by me unnoticed.<P>I'm with ya Chris. I filed myself last month. When you know in your heart that you have done everything you could possibly do, you do have no regrets.<P>The first week after I filed was pretty rough as I had to go through splitting up our personal belongings with H. It made me physically ill. That and the fact that he was still clinging to me made it really hard. But once he left, I have to say that I've been feeling better and better. That spark of life and optimism has finally returned.<P>Life is only going to get better for you and me.

<B>Fess up. What has brought this on? </B><BR>It's just time. We haven't heard from her since Feb. Don't know if she's alive or what.<P>Just time to get it over with.<BR>Don't think I would want her back now if she paid me!<P><B>Are your D's alright with the decision? Are you alright with it?</B><BR>My oldest thinks I should have done it two years ago.<BR>The youngest still hopes, but...<BR>I'm absolutely alright with it.<P>Not a problem in dealing with splitting stuff up. Shouldn't have to unless she pops up for some unknown reason. I'm just worried about the court ruling she gets half my military retirement. If she doesn't get it then I'm not gonna go after child support. She is more than welcome to her life, just leave me out of it.<P>I'll just put her stuff (clothes & knick-knacks) in storage or whatever the court says to do with it.<P>------------------<BR>Prayers & God Bless!<BR>Chris<BR>For relationship info check out <A HREF="http://www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html" TARGET=_blank>Marriage & Relationship Resources</A>

Chris--<P>Here's to your future!!! May it be as wonderful as you deserve.<P>Hugs--<P>Kathi

Chris, I just wanted to give my support. You've fought the good fight, and you'll definitely go down as a MarriageBuilders success story! <P>------------------<BR>Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die

<B>you'll definitely go down</B><P><B>HEY!</B> I'm only divorcing, NOT swearing off women!<P>------------------<BR>Prayers & God Bless!<BR>Chris<BR>For relationship info check out <A HREF="http://www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html" TARGET=_blank>Marriage & Relationship Resources</A>

**Snort**<P>**guffaw**<P>**Bwwahahahahahaha**<P><BR>great.<P>thanks alot.<P>Now I have to wipe the drink off of my monitor....<P>Dylan

{{{Chris}}}<P>Glad you are doing so well, you definitely did everything and more than you could have. Wishing the best for you and your girls!<P>Lori

Hey Chris, I was wondering what was going on in your life. I was going to post to you and ask but felt that was too personal.<P>Wishing you all the best!! We'll have to trade teenage daughter stories. I caught mine and one of her girlfriends sneaking out of the house at 1:30am. Thank God for faulty bladders!!!!!<P>Bob

Good luck to you Chris...I wish you a wonderful & fulfilling future.

Hey Chris:<P>I'm happy that you're moving forward in the process without regrets. You really did a terrific job---and yeah, I knew that it was over the two year mark for you.<P>You haven't heard from her since Feb? I wouldn't be surprised if she has a (real) brain tumor, with the way that she behaved. I'm really glad that the girls are with you.<P>God bless, my brother...

Chris,<BR>In your beliefs your faithfulness, character and loyalty you are a rock. I am told all these things add up to a very desirable husband. I am sure you have a bright future ahead of you. You also have the respect and admiration of your two daughters. They have a great role model for thier future husbands in you. A lot of books suggest that daughters do marry guys much like thier fathers. In your case that is a very good thing. Well done...<BR>Mike

Here's to the lemonade you're making from your big bowl of lemons!!!!!!

Chris...<P>I'm sure you've done all the soul searching that was necessary. Our xWs have just <B>no</B> idea...<P>Love to you and the kids.<P> <P>Jim

Chris,<P>I wish you and your daughters only good things in life.<P>Take very good care of yourself as well.<P>You have shown remarkable patience and understanding.<P>How sad for you and your daughters that the mother of your children has wafted off out of their lives. <P>

hi chris!<BR>Nice to see your name. The 2 yr mark has come....I am sorry but glad to hear you are moving on now.<BR>You are a great dad.<BR>(((((hugs)))))

Hi Chris,<P>welcome back..... I'm glad to read that you're going so well, given all that you've been through.<P>Keep that great attitude, all good things will come your way.<P>hugs<P>Jo

Thanks all.<P>I have an appt with the lawyer on Monday. Hopefully I can get this done without a bunch of hassle (re:time, money & aggravation).<P> I completed my classes for my CCNA (Cisco Cert Network Admin). I’ll take the actual certification test maybe late next week.<P>Now all’s I gotta do is get a job!<P>Kids are at my brothers house & my SIL’s house for the week.<P>------------------<BR>Prayers & God Bless!<BR>Chris<BR>For relationship info check out <A HREF="http://www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html" TARGET=_blank>Marriage & Relationship Resources</A>

Best of luck with that CCNA. Been there done that - January. The test is VERY thorough, but it doesn't have "trick" questions. Good luck with the job hunting, too.

Chris,<P>I'm glad you and your daughters are doing good. Its been a long road that you and I have been down and I wished all the time I could have handled things like you did.

Few men deserve greater respect! <P>Take care of those girls. Hope you are surviving the teens! What a picnic!

Chris,<BR>You have my admiration and best wishes. You have shown incredible patience & forbearance. Your daughters are very fortunate to have a dad like you.<P>Keep us posted sometimes as you run off into that wide world .<P>------------------<BR>Lor<BR>"Whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, gracious...think about these things."

I can't believe that I've logged on for the first time in nearly a year and I see an update from Chris. You are a fine man.

Chris,<BR>What's the status.... you started this post on the 9th... (I think)?????????????????????

I had an appt back on 12 July, but I had to cancel it. I have rescheduled for Monday, 29 July.<P>We'll see what happens then.<P>------------------<BR>Prayers & God Bless!<BR>Chris<BR>For relationship info check out <A HREF="http://www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html" TARGET=_blank>Marriage & Relationship Resources</A>
