I'm back....... MCO552: Hello all.....this is my second time on the board. The first time was about a year & a half ago when my wife suddenly told me she wanted a divorce after just 4 months of being married. Well, in a nutshell....she moved back in 3 months later, did the counseling thing, and basically we've discovered that after a year, we're still in the same spot and now we both agree it's time to go our separate ways. We're more friends than husband & wife. Her therapist even recommended that perhaps it might be easier if she gets a divorce so she can work on her issues and I have to admit that I agree with it. Obviously I wish we could have stayed together through her therapy but no one knows how long that could be. So I just wanted to say hello to everyone & tell you how much this board means to me. I'm actually handling this much better than the first time around (I guess because I knew in my heart that things weren't getting better and I'm tired of holding out hope). There comes a time when you must admit defeat and move on.
Re:I'm back....... jillieb44: BTDT, only I put in a heck of a lot more years than you. If only the stbx would GET some therapy. In all honesty he needs a shrink to get on the right meds or combo of meds. But I digress.
You can still be friends, even if you can't live together anymore.

did i put the quote thing on there? i meant to.
welcome back! if you think you've exhausted just about every how-to-nurse-a-marriage rule and things still don't fall into place: take heart and console yourself with the fact that even your best don't cut it.
i've surrendered a while back after my beating a dead horse phase and i'm feeling good about myself now. pick yourself up, face your ghosts and be a better YOU!
