Keep in mind, I was the independent, had my own company, made my own money, bought my own house, paid my own bills kind of lady. Since my change of looking at things from a heart-centered perspective, i prefer to be a wife.
My husband may never change or see things as I do, but i have chosen to stay. Only by my behavior and witness and if and when in the Lord's time, he should change, hallelujah!
This wasn't intended for advice, just another situation, though similar.
I, too, will lift you up in prayer, Tom. We need each other's support, comfort and encouragement.
God bless you!
You're an invaluable treasure for us here, Mama Bear. As to this dolt, I run into the Word Wall. One thing for sure, I feel at ease here to prattle of the top of my heart and that's because I get a closeness here I've never found in a church building. That's one of those mysticulous things. He He, another new redicable word. Oh, shoot, I'm getting SO good at heart leeditiousness, that my brian is entropylizing. Pray that it continues but, not so far as loosing the ability to do essential stuff like, I dunno...breathing. I've already devolved to where I'm losing the ability to walk around heavy objects without whopstubbin' my tootsies. The other evening I KA-SMAPed the bottom track of the shower door, with my right toes, then later SLAPAK!!! the same tenderized toes hit the base of our antique and thus very heavy Shaker floor cabinet. Both times it hurted so bad that, I stood unable to "OWWUCH!!!" while bobbing like a Jew at the wailing wall. It's a small price to pay when compared to thinking with me ol' Pumpington.
Lastly, big sis, you helped me with my marriage, which is in the ICU but!!! It's off life support. You may be wondering "whhhaaat?" but, after you 'splained the place you're at, I was able to steer the boat away from smashing against rocks. It takes both believing that the marge is worth saving, or else the attempt is futile and a waste of valuable energy.
