    I know Dan. I can't even imagine the pain you're going through right now. But you are important. You are something even if you don't have your wife. Remember, it's not you that's making her cry. It's the WTS's crazy teachings.

    Your actions will show that you love your children, even that you still love your wife. Although the pain may feel for the moment unbearable, you will get through this. You have to get through this for the sake of your kids. They will end up better off. Be a good father (which I'm sure you are). In time, they will come to understand why you made the choices you did and they will have something that maybe you didn't, a choice whether to be a JW or not.

    Please don't go.

    Please don't give up.

    Please.

    You can do this. You can get through this. I am the biggest whiney baby who didn't even know how to pay a bill when I left with nothing but my clothes in the back of my truck. If I can do it, so can you.

    This is just a moment of panic. It will pass.

    I promise.

    brotherdan,

    There are obviously two sides to this story, neither one of you is perfect, neither one of you is fully to blame here. You need to talk with a professional and sort this out. If the only friends nearby are from the hall, then maybe you need to eat some crow if the bridge hasn't been burned and retreat a little. I don't know. But you need to get as much control back as you can.

    Dan she is probably being dramatic to get a reaction, she is hurting, listen to Yknot, don't give up on your little family, I said similar things to my hubby years ago during some dark times in my life, but I didn't mean them deep down. I was hurting and desperate. please be patient.

    You don't know how much I love you. I will get ready for the meeting this week and go with you. Maybe I'm wrong. You've always said that I am smart...but maybe I'm not. Maybe I have never been intelligent.

    Like a fool it isn't until this moment realize what path I have taken....

    I am sorry.

    I need you

    I want you

    I can't live without you.

    Is this thread able to be moved into "members only"????

    Brother Dan,

    I wish words can express how sorry I am for you. Maybe give it a day or so and not contact her? It will be hard but at least "sleep on it" and start a new day...take it one day at a time.

    Dude!!!! she is trying to manipulate you. and she is succeding. She is controlling your emotions and the emotions of many in this forum. Are you controlling your emotions or are they controlling you?...... think think think

    You are not losing no soulmate. She is just in panic as much as you. PERIOD. Now think.. If she doesnt really love you.... do you want to live with someone who doesnt love you? but if she doesnt love you why do you consider her your soulmate? There is something wrong with this picture.

    Now, common, stop letting your emotions control you and take control of the situation. you like to think so use your critical thinking skills to plan your next step.

    You can control your own actions.

    I can see that.

    It's just that it is my life and my kids. It's hard to be objective when I have so much to lose, you know?

    Hey guys....I know you are trying to help but this is still his wife and mother of his children. Sometimes we need some time to clear our heads. What she is doing is very hurtful and the correspondence is very raw and new at the moment.
