    wow. same story here. just about. we were separated 4 years ago. I stayed out of duty and because kids were heartbroken. Never really could get back to where I needed to be emotionally with my husband. It's sad. Just know there is someone else out there who gets it. Take care.

    I can so relate. I am in my second marriage. He became abusive verbally and one time phiscal with my daughter. I was so in love with him. But He doesn't know how to love someone else. I was very lonely because my husband chosse to spend all his time with guy frineds playing board games and xbox games till sometimes 3:00am. I begane to hang out to with the wrong girls. One night my husbad got mad at me for my daughter and her friend making to much noise. i came down to calm things and he spit in my face called me all kinds of names and said he wanted a divorce. so i made planes ot leave. Two weeks before moving out I met someone and began to talk with him. When i left I began to see him and my husband said you have been having an afair. It was so crazy. After he had filed for divorce and 2 months later he wanted me back. I went back and for 2 months he was trying. Then everything got bad again. even worse. the abuse and neglect started again. I left again and filed for divorce. i had enough. But some how I still loved him. I have been seperated for 17months and have not dated anyone while he got on match .com and has

    dated several women. He calles me now and says if my mom would give her blessing I would give us another try. I don't trust him. He has made to many promises and never keeps them. I think when he doesn't have a woman in his life he just comes back to me. I know that if we continue to just work on oursleves and become healthy we will then find healthy people. I just trust in God to get me thorugh every day. I pray that You will find peace and joy. Life is about choices and love is a choice. I think its about are we willing to take the effort it takes to make things work? God Bless.
