Who is to say?My husband and I separated several years ago. We were separated for over a year. At first, it was awkward, like there were times I wanted to hug him,etc..but didn't know if I ''should''. We talked about it and did not withhold feelings/thoughts from that point on. We were intimate while separated and we eventually got back together. ...

I guess they like it, but I hate that you spend a while picking it out, finding just the right stuff...that looks good, not too this, not too that, etc...And then in less than 2 minutes, it's history...removed and thrown carelessly on the floor....lol

Sister with all due respect that whole thing about that other woman having an interest in your husband and puting your picture away and coming in his home when she pleases is a bunch of junk....I see a big, huge, red flag waving in the wind. It seems he is enjoying his other life a little too much...It sounds very strange that you can't go down ...

I don't think Jenna was making presumptions and judgements..She seemed to be offering you advice, which you came here for.I hope you find peace and answers in your search...I would encourage you to openyour heart...Hugs~

No answers for you sister..but I have been dealing with this with my husband for years......Married 20 years.....If he doesn't want to get help, nothing will change. End of story.Is he willing? And I agree with Chaz that Christ needs to be the center of his life..and right now it is not from what you have said, so yes, that makes things even ...

Chaz is making me hungry  ; )This is a great thread...I need to be more careful when grocery shopping. I have the bad habit of not looking at prices and just getting whatever we are in the mood for. We are a family of 4 (1 off at college to make 5). We probably spend about $200 a week. Just a rough estimate. I am going to try to track it ...

Thanks Holten...You always speak the truth with an undertone of love..I appreciate you taking the time to respond.I feel more peace tonight. Thank you for helping me through another valley...man, this road is hard...praise God for all my brothers and sisters in Christ..Hugs~

Thanks to all of you..please just pray for us...truly...

spareparts...I am sorry that I don't have the time to go into all the details of our situation, I know you can only respond with what I have supplied. Just know that I have indeed asked him to tell me any areas that I need to work on, improve, etc...I am humble, and I accept my responsibility to be the best I can be.Holton...thank you very much. I ...

I don't want to be without him....but I can't continue living with things as they are and that never change....What a hard position to be in........

Just got an email from husband...sts he is going to be working late...Sts he is not going to counseling, ever and that if I still want him to move out, then he will.This is heartbreaking really. I promise, I have tried everything I can think of to help us. I think at this point I just have to let him go...

Absolutely sending hugs and prayers...Just wanted to also mention that although some people who attempt suicide cut their wrists, there is also a large number of people that are doing what is called ''cutting''. It involves cutting on themselves. It is their way to deal with their emotional pain. They don't necessarily want to commit suicide, it ...

JaneFW:You absolutely have my prayers.  I had a word given to me this weekend that I will pass on to you: courage.  Deut 31:6Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified .. for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.Thanks Jane...I love that  ; )   Thank you again~

Today is the day..I have no idea if my husband is going. I sent him an email yesterday but no reply...Please pray for me, my marriage, and my husband, and our counselor.....Thank you~
