No matter how bad or good my marriage has been I have never even considered divorce. I believe in "for better, or worse, sickness or health, etc." Maybe because my parents have been married over 65 years I wouldn't consider divorce either. It's a shame when people feel they have to get a divorce. I guess in some cases it can't be helped...

Good for you. According to the Bible, divorce was only given to the spiritually dead. You are indeed a rare breed. You are inspiring to some out here. Where is the applause icon?

Bob obviously you have a great mate, some of us werent so lucky!

All I can say about my divorce, now looking back on it, it was the best thing that ever happened to me!

My feelings exactly jw.

I would never condemn some one from saving another person from living hell, and that includes themselves. I will not sit in judgement, I have no right, and even less experience.

We were all young once, and it is so easy to pretend marriage is all about love. Yeah for what? Thirty minutes or less.

I will only comment that if you can keep one good friend through life then you have done a good thing. This is just a thought. Funny how that doesn't always work out.

GEEZE on paper that doesn't come across at all,,,sorry.
One true friend is worth a thousand wives, one true wife is worth a thousand worthless friends, one rich relative.... PRICELESS.

I'll not judge others on such.

Yet I could tell you stories from my own experience that would chill your sh*t.
I could not have blamed my wife if she divorced or even killed my sorry ass in my sleep.

God renewed our marriage, and with time, repaired the rips in faith / trust that lingered.

Jeanette and I are as one again.

The bible says the Lord can bring forth good from the greatest of evils.

I feel we are living proof, and I pray it stays that way till death do us part.

Sans it is a darn good thing you guys are rockin'. You don't get it.

Jeanette always wanted to be close to a Rock Star. Now she is.

I can only forgive so much before I'm all for givin' up.

Funny thing is, bob - I never even considerede divorce as an option, either. Every argument we have. she goes right there. So, she gets it. this time, in spades! I have NOTHING left after all of this sh*t.

I do think that if you go through this whole mess that Phil has gotten himself into, that he has never been the advocate for the actions that are being forced on him.
I shall not cast the first stone. If you lay your hand on a hot stove, no where does it say you must keep it there.
Good hopes for you Phil.

Thanks, Glen. I can't say I feel good about it. Frankly, I feel like a failure...but I've done all I can, given the parameters allowed, & that's all I can do...for her...for myself...for God & country & apple pie & everything that is.

I can't begin to tell you how it hurts, but I will say this - i've talked to ppl who had limbs lost in war, & they consistantly talk more about the pain from a divorce over even the pain of war. That says it all. There's a huge deficit left in ya when you lose that certain trust for someone that you put it all into...& I'm right there.

But it's only life, & we all get over it whether we want to or not, right?

I'll go on...diminished for a bit...but i'll go on...I only hope that I can find the forgiveness that's been denied to me all these years...after giving it as often as I have, I dunno if there's any left, but I'm trying my very best. It sure ain't easy, though,

And yes - at this point, I'm all for giving up. F*ck it. The time to move on came & went long ago, but I still tried. That says something about me - whether it be that i'm a complete idiot or a saint, I have no idea, & really, that's more between me & God than between even me & her.

But as far as this person is concerned - I cannot trust again, so it's over for me. F*ck it. Wish me luck in my future endeavors & I'm off to the races.

Wheee!

We are just along for the ride Phil ...


HANG TEN BROTHER !!

Divorce is rough, but you do survive it. It's like starting a whole new life. Peace of mind is priceless, and ultimately, that's what you'll have.

Five years taught me a lot. Getting cheated on is the last straw though. I got some trust issues, and some financial issues, but I'm becoming a whole person again.

Better to dwell on a housetop, than with an angry and contentious woman.
