You have an amazing family. You are amazin...Kay, <br /><br />You have an amazing family. You are amazing. Don't give up. It is something worth fighting for. If I could recommend a book "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. Just knowing the concept of it changed our marriage over 8 years ago. Now I am actually reading it and I am still learning how much better our marriage can be.<br /><br />Love you. You are in our prayers.Jay and Sherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722339053966966122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877072132523379688.post-54088950083457456152010-04-11T02:06:12.225-04:002010-04-11T02:06:12.225-04:00You will but one step at a time. I know your story...You will but one step at a time. I know your story because in some ways, it's mine...with my ex husband. It was a long road of not knowing where we were headed. Unfortunately, for us, it was after 21 years that the answer was...nowhere.<br /><br />After hurting from his infidelity and then the divorce, I too learned to stuff the pain and emotions. What I'm bringing to my relationship now is more of a toughened woman who refuses to be hurt again. If he doesn't talk, neither do I. I love him tremendously but I'm realizing that I need to let down the walls in order for the relationship to continue to grow.<br /><br />I understand when you've learned to do it all on your own. I have had to learn to ask for help from Boo. It's the only way I can slowly allow myself to need him. (I don't know if this makes sense but it's the best way I know how to explain it.)<br /><br />The past doesn't have to be your present. You can start by sharing even just a small glimpse of who you are now...being vulnerable. Even if it's when you're talking to him on the phone....let him know that you need him...that you want to share with him but it will take time. If he's willing to wait as you gradually grow back to him, then that's the first step.<br /><br />How many more months until dh is home?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459265311205890622noreply@blogger.com
