Ivory, if you are anything like me, you will try to stay away from the CD forum...but it will draw you back in.

I hope you find the support you are looking for, in whatever form. Have you noticed that many of the threads you start or post on tend to be rather long threads? You should at least pat yourself on the back for that. You have touched a nerve in many here; agree to disagree or not - you DO have people talking. That at least should be of some small value to you. It just goes to show that there are no easy answers for the dilemma you are in.

So many of us have been there; we all handled it in whatever ways we thought were best at the time. Try not to take every word you read here as an all-out criticism of you and/or your choices. I hope a year from now some of your troubles will be behind you.

did you see the ads by google just above MaryBeth2's post? Other than the slight reference to Big Brother watching our every move (j/k ), Ivory isn't
the first or last to go through this. Hopefully most people including Ivory come to a forum to bounce thoughts around and discuss; not to take all of
our posts on the level of Dr. Drew. (or Phil, or Laura, etc. - not that I put a lot of credence in any of them...)

If someone walks away from this forum more confused, GOOD! That means there's more than one way of looking at things. Ultimately, we have to delve
within for the answers we probably already know.

I agree with you. Utimately, it is her decision.

I only wish she were more confused, THEN she'd be ready for some objectivity. At this point, her mind is made up - there is nothing her husband can do and nothing any of us here can say, she has her heels dug in. Very sad to me, but that is her choice. (Though watch her post, "it's not my choice - HE made the choice" )

Yeah...

I can see it now....

The priest says to say, "Peace be with you" to your neighbors...and you turn to your ex....all hex breaks loose!!!

Big fight with fists swinging!!! Old ladies swinging their canes at each other getting in on the action. Bibles being thrown at one another while the organ continues to play like the 3 musicians on the Titanic.

Awesome!!!

All the non-church goers are ticked cause they missed all the action!!
