    I'm thankful to him that he can use my failures and his work to redeem me to my family as a sign of hope for you. He did that for me over and over. I did lose hope multiple times. But right as she was getting reading to choose a house, he made me break the silence. I had the words to speak and...

    Absolutely. So I'll say that there's way way way too much to type on my phone. But let me tell you: God Is Real! He is so faithful. The kicker is that his timing is not ours and he will let us sweat but even in his silence he is working every single time I thought he was silent or not working...

    Jim, I have not forgotten. It'll be a long long email to share my story. Things are quite busy but I wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten and I'm still praying.

    NerdGirl you sound like my wife and I sound like your husband. I was like him. I needed help. I got it and still in work but it took me a long time to realize she couldn't fix me and it was not her place to do so. It is God's place. I unfairly placed too much on her. Please realize that in a...

    I was told I am too late to reconcile with

    Thank you very much. You know, I'd like to kinda pick your brain a little. I mean, you've been on the other side. There's stuff I omitted that is sensitive but I kind of would like your opinion and insight. Plus you give it straight, not sugar coated. That's truth I need in my life and maybe...

    Enilorac, I appreciate you taking your time to response and bringing a perspective from the other side. I am happy and sad for you all at the same time. You were able to reconcile and spend the rest of the time together which is why I am happy. His passing is, of course, why I feel for you. Now...

    Brother I didn't forget about you. I had this very engaged reply and hit post. Then it asked me to login even though I was and gave an error... then it was all gone. Lol. I guess what I was saying wasn't meant to be posted right now. But I will say that you and I have some similarities going...

    I'm Shane. When I prayed I was using the scenario to identify you lol. I may have used your screen name too. 22 months, wow. It was almost 2 years ago I started my decent. It was 18 months ago, almost 19 she first told me it isn't working for her anymore and I moved out. To reiterate, she was...

    I was told I am too late to reconcile with

    I think you are right. I have been doing much less of my own and more of service to the family. I used to play video games, watch movies on my laptop, do hours of music production, or art, or video editing, or streaming music production on mixer and twitch. Now I spend my time engaging in my...

    I was told I am too late to reconcile with

    Thank you. It's late and while there is no identifiable change in her heart over this, God has been doing things of work in me. Some of it was rough. Either way, I'll need to get back on her to share. I wish she didn't want to end it. I'm praying daily for the holy spirit to work in her to give...

    I am right there with you. She let me come home to maximize time with the kids before they move and to help with getting the house ready to sell. I've lost 15 lbs from stress and not eating much. I'm crying out to God to save the marriage, and I've done everything I have been led to do that I...

    None of can know but it may not be his will. However, other people can resist his will instead of letting him heal the marriage. Then his will may be shifted to bringing you closer if the other refuses to draw to him. However, and I'm saying this out of a place where I'm having to do the same...

    Grieving loss of mother when agreed to marry and when married, now I regret it... please help!!!

    That is a lot to unpack. So I will not assume anything, because I was not there and do not know the step by step in the emotional and spiritual process that led to this point other than what you have said here. I can say that you are like I was: self focused. I am not saying you are in a bad way...

    This post was over a year ago. Was there reconciliation? I pray for all the couples in this scenario. I am in my own, so it hurts to hear others are in it too. Not that I didn't know it, but hearing it here makes it more real. I pray you all are well.
