I'm about to turn in, it's been a long long day.. but I wanted to fill you guys in right fast. Trisha finally talked to me yesterday a little bit, mainly just firing off a laundry list of complaints and ALOT of bitterness. She was mad as a hornet still, and came at me stinger first lol. That's ok though, I deserved every bit of that "dressing down". I took it all on the chin and told her my world is broke w/o her, apologized the best I could and it all ended on a good note. Today was good too, for she actually called me instead of the text-only rule she made herself. That started out pretty awkward, then the bitterness came out of her pretty heavy and she stung me a few more times...had a pretty serious cry, and after that the conversation turned productive. We talked for almost two hours and it was so good to talk to my best friend again.. she asked me if I wanted to see my daughter tonight.. she brought her here and dropped her off while she went to her meeting, then she came back to the house and we talked some more.

Theres progress being made and I can feel God's hand in all of it. I want to thank you, those who were in prayer and/or in support.. the prayers held us together I have no doubts. So, she is still staying where she is staying (I think more for punishment than anything, her feelings are very hurt) for the time being. I dug in at the V.A. and got some meds changed around so I think shes also gonna give those a chance to do their thing. But now, at least I KNOW she is definitely coming back, just not sure when. At least I know she still loves me, and I didnt ruin the whole dang thing.. thank You God.

...and I cant keep a secret to save my life. I HAVE to tell someone its eating me up. So, Trish thought she had "slightly" over reacted. She used the word "hormonal" and said she feared she may be pregnant. Well, up to dollar tree we go for a test..20mins and a dollar later, yuppp its affirmative.

My God has a sense of humor y'all.

Sounds like you got a good woman there who ain't gonna put up with much crap from you or anybody else. Good for her. You better do what ever you can to hold on to her. I guess you know that. I've been married to my best friend for over 51 years. Hasn't always been a petunia patch. You both gotta want it. And you both have to be willing to work at it. Work real hard sometimes. The easy times make all that work worth it. I wish you the best DennyL.

Praise the Lord for He is good, His mercies endure forever. I'm so thankful for His hand in this, And thank you Denny for letting us know all the news. So glad y'all are talking again and seein each other. It won't be long before she moves back in. When she does, make a concerted effort not to do whatever it was you did last time. As I'm sure you are well aware of. Our true loves want to forgive and move forward, but if you repeat the same offence they tend to take it twice as hard and sometimes don't want to forgive again Congrats on y'alls news. Will have something else for my prayer list for y'all. YBIC

Spirit, yes sirrrrr.. I have lost my mind with her gone. I'm going to do everything in my power to give her what she needs.. emotionally, physically, and mentally. My counselor said "I have one question before we start all of this.. in your opinion, is she worth it?" I said "absolutely, yes." He said Ok let's do it then.. I needed to ask because marriage counseling sometimes starts as "how do we fix our marraige" and sometimes shifts to "ok, how do we successfully and safely divorce"... and both if you have to believe it's worth it or it won't work. I do want this, I want her and I choose her and my family.

Saw1, thank you for your prayers, God is so GOOD! His mercies really do endure forever. Last night I was praying in the spirit after Trish left, tears streaming down my face, thankfully in awe of what had just happened.. shifting from strait up sobs to cackle-laughing at the ceiling saying "Youuuuu...are You sure about this????!!!!" Lbvs..

RawDawg, yes yes sirr!! Thank you..
