Dear Houmatt, place your trust in the Lord. He does not assign burdens too heavy for us to carry. If the load nonetheless seems crushing, ask Him to help you carry it. You never know, but in the end much good may come from what now seems so irredeemably bad and difficult for you. I'll be praying for you and your wife. God bless each of you, and by His Light and Grace lead you to His love, truth, and peace.
Amen Betty boop!
If you must know, I will Freepmail you.
Prayers going up.
I know my marriage is over. But I emotionally invested seven years of my life into that woman. She was the one I turned to when I needed someone to talk to; when I was lonely or upset.
I can assure you there is not a single person on this planet who knows me better than she does.
I am reminded of the song Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now):
How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ohoo
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me?
When all I can do is watch you leave?
Cuz we shared the laughter and the pain
and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
Crap, I always thought that song was depressing...even more so now.
Please see post #25.
Strive for at least a civil relationship.
You will find another. Probably right here on FR. ;-).
I don't understand why you and she lived 200 miles apart, her in Canada and you in New York. Was that the arrangement for the entire six years of the marriage?
Why didn't one of you join the other and make a home in one country or the other?
Please post your replies to Houmatt
Houmatt, My prayers going up for you right now. God's love and protection in your life. Also praying for your wife...that she may find what she needs most...peace. I am sorry you have gone through these things, and I will keep you in my prayers.
Blessings,
trussell
If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.

Prayers sent.
A big part of your rehab, is coming clean on why you were arrested. If you're unwilling to face that reality, I for one, am not willing to offer help.
I will pray that you both find comfort and peace.
My advice is pray about it and then let it go. Do what you think is right and trust the Lord to handle the rest. If I knew more I'd probably give the same advice.
Prayers for you, FRiend.
That happened last year, when the company she worked for sold off her division. We came up here, but she said she was going to live with her parents until she could get her own place to crash. For reasons still not clear to me, the option of living up there while we went through the motions was never explained to me. I would imagine her parents nixed the idea. I do not think Terri would have objected to it, as she lived with me for a year before we could get married and she got a work permit. While she got the odd pay from a telecommuting job, I was working and trying to support her.
Thank you. I am grateful more than words can say.
You got mail!
I am finding some people here do not need to know exactly what I did; for that I am grateful. I am sorry you do not feel the same.
I pray that your situation will improve, but remember "God helps those who help themselves".
You can stop being a jerk.
Get involved in a good, Bible-believing church, tell the pastor your problems, turn over a new leaf.
Good luck!
How am I being a jerk??
