My anniversary is coming up on Saturday. I've been reading Love Must Be Tough through some more. Based on some stuff that I read in the book I want to write a message to my wife.
I thought I'd check the opinions on here before I do that. I remember before that it depends on why I am writing it. Well, I want to just say how that I may not have been the perfect husband, but the entire time that we were together I never once did anything with another woman. I want to tell her to do whatever she wills, as we both have to answer to God and my conscience is clear. I also want to express that if she wants to talk to me about the whole situation, I am willing to listen, but if not I am currently, and will continue to, purge myself of any feeling I have for her. I want to mention that it is hard due to her being my one and only love, but that I will be okay.
Now for as what I hope to accomplish. I don't really expect a response, so I don't care how she takes it. I mainly want to let her know that I am not just going to sit here for the rest of my life waiting for her and that I have a handle on the situation.

The message I am talking about wasn't directly related to our anniversary. That was really just two separate thoughts, but thoughts are welcome on both. Thank you in advanced.

Are you prepared to absolutely drop the rope? Because there's a chance she may not respond?

In other words, you want to have another R talk.


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!

I'm not sure what you're saying. Is that a cautionary question or are you asking if that's what I was implying?

Putting it that way makes it sound like a bad idea, but I guess that is how it is. I assume it was not a wise decision. I get in those moods sometimes and am not sure what to do. Especially with all of this coming up. Thanks for keeping me on track. That's why I make sure to post things on here.

It's been a long time since my last post. When I posted that I almost felt ready to give up completely. My feelings are extremely weird now. I was starting to question whether or not I still loved my wife. I had some friends over who were talking about the whole situation and I realize that I do still love her, but I'm afraid of the pain that acknowledging that causes.

I've been trying to get back in college, one of my goals, but I figured out I don't qualify for financial aid and I can't afford to go back unless I take out a private loan. I am also moving soon. I'm planning on renting a place with a couple of friends. My wife has still not got the rest of her stuff. I was thinking I'd message her and telling her I was moving and that her stuff was in the apartment. Is that a good plan?

Also, my wife has been telling people, trustworthy sources, that I said I wanted this divorce and agreed that we shouldn't have gotten married. I don't want to talk to her and I don't want her thinking that. Should I just ignore it? I've told the sources the truth about how I feel.

Good plan if you are moving in a couple of days, bad plan if you are moving in a month. You are looking for a reason to contact her when you really do not need to. I'd wait until you had a moving date set, and contact her a day or two before hand. No reason to contact her weeks/a month ahead of time.

Ignore it. She will rewrite your marriage history. Believe none of what she says, and only half of what she does.
