Im very sure God will bless you both for ''sticking it out'' the tough times sometimes seem to last forever.. but they dont really... when I go through them, I always say to myself... this too shall pass may your future be bright and happy

You know, I have been thru two divorces.. and re-married my first wife..
I know how difficult divorces can be, and My heart goes out to you, Men can be the most difficult part of the process, that and letting go of something that has been a part of your life for x amount of years. There isn't any easy way thru it, but there is always and end, and that is what I always looked for. The end.. A day to start over..

Oh... And you bet ya God Is Great !!!!

Wow, I know what you mean, I have also had the same happen to me... did not remarry the father of my kids though.. he's still a alcoholic and has waisted his life away, when I met my last husband, I thought I was so lucky.. till we were married, then the real person ''appeared'' .. stuck it out for 22 years.... more so because I felt it was what the Lord wanted me to do.... then one day... last september .. It all came to a halt.. could not go on anymore.I hate being alone, but better this than what I had.
I hope you are really happy now... God bless

You have no Idea how many incredible sunsets I have missed becuase of my job..
