I"m new to MM since we abandoned TN, but that is quite a story. Good luck to you. No matter the outcome, you'll be able to be at peace with the decision knowing you really tried.
Thanks so much for sharing your story. It has really resonated with me and your honesty is very much appreciated. I've had a tough year in my marriage, so I know how the realities of marriage do not always fit into the box of what we thought married life would be like. Good luck as you two try to heal your relationship. I hope you keep updating.
Good luck with everything! I seemed to gather that you believe in God. If you do, I highly recommend A weekend to remember marriage conference. It is a Christian conference held in various locations nationwide. DH and I went at a time when we had some differences and it really reconnected us. A lot of what we now put into practice we learned there. If you want more info let me know. I also have a code where its half price.
welome back and good luck on everything. it sounds like you are doing all the right things and hopefully it brings you two back together. thank you for being so candid about it. im sure your story will help others:) looking forward to having you back.
Welcome back, and thanks for sharing your story. It sounds like you've been through quite a journey and I'm glad to hear you are doing well.
I also think that your pastor's advice has nothing to do with his personal life. He also may have known that he was also with the wrong person and wishing he could leave but hadn't yet gathered his own strength, KWIM?
However, I think things happen for a reason and I hope that the time apart AND your change of heart on your pastor's advice both lead you and your husband down the road you needed to go down in order to get to where you want to be. If that makes sense.
Good luck to you RTB! I often wondered what happened to you, since we share the same wedding month and we went to the same place for our honeymoon. I've changed my name since the knot.
I'm glad to see you guys are giving it another shot and I hope all works out for the best!!
::Zombie Hugs:: RTB. Sounds like it had to get really bad to really get better. Isn't that the way it goes sometimes? Sure we'd love for it to not go there, but sometimes it just has to.
Your experience is yet another reminder that no one is ever truly alone in what one is going through. I identified with what you said in your OP. Maybe I should let H read it.
I so hope that things continue to look up for you/your marriage and think it's great you shared your story. Have a wonderful anniversary & best wishes.

Thanks for sharing your story. I went through something similar with my husband. We were separated for four months and then went to counseling and "dated" for two months before I moved back in. I wish you the best with whatever decision you make.
Good to see you, Guster friend! I am glad it sounds like things are getting on a good path.
One of the best things DH and I ever did for our relationship was take a step back (in our case from living together to living separately and just dating). It forces you to be more mindful about the relationship.

I missed him a lot but after a few months of being gone, I started to feel like I only missed the friendship and the stuff (having a house, our dog, my nice kitchen supplies, etc.) and not the marriage.
You have NO IDEA how much I needed to read this thread right this very second. I'm serious.
