I consider him to be one of the greatest Presidents who ever lived. I am amazed at how he was able to facilitate the crumbling of the Berlin wall/iron curtain, and how he helped bring our nation out of double-digit inflation that plagued the presidency of his predecessor. I loved his wit, and his easy-going charm. We were very lucky to have this man serve our nation, (and my State, as well!).

Karissa,

It has been a long time since I have felt so compelled to really sit down and respond to a thread like I do this one. First of all, I want to welcome you to the board and tell you that you have come to the right place for support. Second of all, in passing, I would like to say, drop the Bible Study. You only need spend a couple of minutes on this board to see how toxic this religion is.

I was involved in a situation that is similar to yours, however, thankfully, mine was not as all-encompassing like yours. (Thank you, God). But it none-the-less devastated me as well, and I share your pain. I'm not just saying that. I REALLY do feel your pain.

Everything I am going to say to you comes from personal experience, so if it sounds harsh, please forgive me. But if there is one thing I have learned from my own situation is the importance to begin the grieving process immediately and to put it all behind you even sooner. Looking back will only prolong your pain and put your own life on hold for even longer because this man is not who he said he was, and is therefore not the person you are in love with. Karissa, you deserve a happy life with someone who will treat you the way you deserve to be treated and hold you in the esteem in which you are entitled. Allowing this guy to want to have his cake and eat it too is a slam against YOU and against your self-worth. Holding on to him for even one more second keeps you in the abyss he has created for you. Do you want that, Karissa? I understand that you miss the guy you fell in love with. But that guy is no longer "alive". And whether he is sincere in his professions of love or not, the fact of the matter is that he has put you LAST -- behind the wife, behind the "things" and behind the religion. Take a look at this man. His ACTIONS scream louder than his words! LISTEN to his ACTIONS. He can pay lip service all day long to how much he loves you - but if he really did love you, his ACTIONS would be congruent with his words. And they are not.

Sadly, Karissa, this relationship will NEVER work. The sooner you accept that and move on, the sooner you will meet someone who really does love you, and really will sacrifice everything for you, even if it meant they could only have you in their lives for one more day. YOU ARE WORTH IT. Do NOT ever forget it.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. My heart truly does bleed for you. (((((Karissa)))))

More good ones!

Thank you Prins not only for "I Will Love Again", (which made me cry), but for the suggestion to play it everyday. I am going to take your advice!

These are great suggestions! Gadget, I've never heard the song you refer to, but it brought tears to my eyes. And Rayzor, you're right, the imagery in the song you talk about is just so..... sad. And, HoChiMin, I love anything by Don Henley. And this song is no exception. It does speak to your heart, doesn't it?

Here's another heartbreaker:

I Will Always Love You

Whitney Houston

If I should stay
I would only be in your way,
So I'll go, but I know
I will think of you every step of the way.

And I... will always love you, will always love you...
you, my darling you, you

Bittersweet memories,
That is all I'm taking with me.
So good bye, please don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.

And I-ee-I... will always love you-oo, I will always love you-oo

(Saxaphone solo)

I hope life treats you kind,
And I hope you have all you dreamed of.
And I wish you joy and happiness,
but above all this i wish you, love.

And I-ee-I will always love you-oo, I will always love you, I will always love
you-oo, I will always love you-oooo, I will always love you-oooo, I , I will
always love...you, you, darling I love you, oh I will always, I will always
love, you-oooo.

How does one keep food down when they are in pain and listening to songs like this?!

Let Me Let Go

I thought it was over, baby
We said our goodbyes
But I can't go a day without your face
Goin' through my mind

In fact, not a single minute
Passes without you in it
Your voice, your touch, memories of your love
Are with me all of the time

Let me let go, baby
Let me let go
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Are you still in my soul
Let me let go

I talked to you the other day
Looks like you make your escape
You put us behind, no matter how I try
I can't do the same

Let me let go, baby
Let me let go
It just isn't right
I've been two thousand miles
Down a dead-end road

Let me let go, darlin', won't you
I just gotta know, yeah
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Are you still in my soul
Let me let go

The lights of this strange city are shinin'
But they don't hold no fascination for me
I try to find the bright side, baby
But everywhere I look
Everywhere I turn
You're all I see

Let me, let me let go, baby, won't you
Let me let go
It just isn't right
I've been two thousand miles
Down a dead-end road

Oh, let me let go, darlin', won't you
I just gotta know
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Yeah, you're still in my soul, let me let go
Let me let go, let me let go

Repent

I guess I'd have to do that too! Shiiite, I got so much repenting to do, there probably wouldn't be time left to do anything else!!!

Could I have 10 minutes please?! Or seven?! How about five?!
