I still love him but when is enough-enough? - 07/18/12 12:07 PM
Good morning. On August 15th, my husband and I will be married for 14 years. These years have not been easy and with discretions on both sides (mainly emotional affairs which can be worse than physical). Nevertheless, we both have done things that we are not proud of, apologized for it and moved on. Two years ago, the relationship was stable so we decided that he would go to the next duty station and we would remain at the old one since I had a great job and the kids were stable.

Although we both agreed to try to stick it out, I could feel that he wasn't 100 percent committed. Two weeks later, I receive a text saying that he was going to send separation papers. My whole world collapsed. I began to pray without ceasing and giving everything over to God. Well, during all of this, I've tried to find a teaching job each summer so we could be closer.

He continues to hold my hand and tells me he loves me and the talk of separation has stopped (amen) but I know we have a long way to go.

I truly love my husband, realize the error in my ways and hope that it's not too late to save my marriage.
