    My Husband and I have been married for 11 years...this last year has been unbearable and he moved out in late August. Things have not been well between us and I think it was best for him to leave. I don't want to go into all the details but we love each other and our marriage was good a long time...disappointment and failures played their part but not as much as the lack of communication. Me- I vocalized everything---and I do mean everything...including mean stuff; Him-he vocalized little to none and kept it all inside...so now we are where we are and I have no idea how this story will end.

    I ask for your prayers in helping us through this hard time and let whatever will be, be. I know some of you think that marriage should NOT be hard work...but in my experience---anything worth having is hard work.

    God help us.

    Prayers Diva. If it is meant to be it will be. Good luck that it turns out the way you want to. I agree, marriage is hard. Been at it 29 years and still hard at times, like now.

    Prayers , I hope which ever path is best for both will appear to you.
    21 yrs here and it's not always been perfect that'sf or damn sure. I scream and yell and stomp around when I am VERY ticked off to be vocal he can just say mean mean below the belt stuff but we have a lot in common besides our kids so we keep trying.
    Best to you both.

    Praying for you two. 11 years is enough time to know that you love each other. Your other post about pregnancy shows that as well. I dated my wife for 8 years before we got married. We've been married for 5....if she can put up with me, anything is possible for anyone.

    Prayers for you and your husband. I hope you can work things out for the best.

    I agree - things worth having DO take work - even marriage.

    Thanks for your prayers....he has been gone for 8 months now...never says he loves me anymore. Yet he pays all the bills still, comes over and mows the lawn...paying down debt....

    I really have no idea what is going on with him. He lives at a secret location which I call "The Batcave" and he is obssessed with being young, looking young and dying. I have no idea who he is anymore. he doesn't even look the same...there is a blankness is his eyes that is completely indescribable. I have no idea where he gets money to pay for that...a secret account, I imagine, since his entire life is a secret...

    His family treats me as if I am a lepyr...

    I pray to find my way...I do not know if he will find his...but I know that I must remain strong if only for myself. I have no idea how this will turn out but I do know that time waits for no one and I know that I am a loving, smart, attractive, funny, educated woman who has a lot to give someone...it seems as if the person I gave all of that to 11.5 years ago no longer wants that or no longer wants me...and I am okay with that.

    I know that eventually I will have to move on and that I will be going to UT games with someone else who shares that same passion. I hope that he can find his happiness and passion once again. I feel so much pity for him. He is becoming his father and he thinks that it is "noble" to become that....all I see for his future is dying of alcoholism in a hospital room alone.

    This is a hard place to be and I hope you never have to be here...

    i am originally from SA. never been married so i can't relate to your situation but i am pulling for you to find your way, as you say. there's a great world out there and everything happens for a reason, usually it works out. i have a friend here in Dallas that went through something similar recently, and she remarried, had a baby and is the happiest she has ever been.

    You can absolutely be healed. All the years the locusts have eaten can be restored. Build your new life one solid brick at a time, and in the future, you will have a strong house around you. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.

    Hey VY! Thanks for checking in on me.

    Still separated. 11 months now. Neither of us has filed for divorce. He is nicer and we talk all the time. Not about our relationship though. Who knows where it is going?

    I do know he got his season tickets...and for the second season, I will probably not be going to see a home game with him. [​IMG] Oh well. Take it as it comes.

    He is still very responsible for the bills and the mortgage and all that...I am at the house with the dogs...he mows the lawn every week. I think he has had some sorta life crisis or something...mid-life or whatever.

    It's been a difficult year but now that a year is coming up, I think it will be better for me. Can't say anything about him...I have no idea how he feels. At some point (which I think is coming soon) we will have to talk about where we're going and what we both want for the future. So far it has been very amicable.

    Thanks for your prayers...

    I'll come back and update so you know how I'm doing.

    Hook 'em! [​IMG]

    This may be not be the preferred direction, but I'm praying right now that a miracle happens and that reconciliation occurs.

    Thank you all....I hope things work out the way I want them too as well.

    Hard when someone who you felt you were "connected" with just goes off the deep end and starts acting completely different....a complete 180. Grows their hair long, moves somewhere and doesn't tell you where...has an affair with some skank ho who KNOWS he's married but doesn't care. Nice.

    I have taken my vows seriously but right now I feel as if I am the only one. He is still out there---lost in space. I know that the man he is today is NOT the person I fell in love with...the man who he is now, well, he is a self-absorbed *******. If he were like that when I met him, I would not have given him the time of day. I only do it now because I knew him as a different person.

    I have put this in God's hands...I know that I cannot really help my husband. He is having a crisis of some sort and he will have to figure it out on his own. He is responsible for his own choices and I am through making excuses for why he did this or said that. If he remains this narcissistic person, then I cannot live with that. I cannot be in a marriage where he runs off with a flavor of the month whenever he feels like it.

    So I have given it to God. I know He will show me what I need to do for myself in good time. I am really at peace knowing that and believing in that.

    Prayers to you all....

    I read thorugh your posts over the last 11 months or so. Sounds like your husband is lost. I don't have the patience that you do. I would have laid down an ultimatium earlier, but that may be my shortcoming. The good Lord has plans for you and I sense that you will move on soon to embrace the wonderfulness of the worlld. Blessings to you.
