Looney_Tunes Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Copied over from the men's section: Haven't posted anything for quite a while. I think you guys should know what is going on. This roller coaster ride has been going on for three long years now. August of 2009 was when I found out she was done with me. August of 2011 we made it to the intensive. As of this month, something new has happened. My wife has crossed a line. She is officially affectionate and seems truly happy again. I still feel like I have a long way left to go, but she is finally willing to trust me with her heart again. It almost seems surreal. She has still not read any of the books, never sat through a full video and ended up in a fight the one time I read a chapter to her out loud. But, we are close enough to Joel and Kathy to see them almost every week. They are not cutting me any slack. Kathy checks on both of us almost every day. Joel is still willing to get in my face when something doesn't seem right. I am still killing off stuff in me... And I keep finding more.Just to encourage you guys who are wondering, this is the real deal. Not quick or easy, but it works. I spent two years searching for some counselor who could fix us. I frustrated some of them pretty badly. Most of my family still thinks I am crazy for this "extreme" theology and taking all the blame for where we ended up. But I really understand the parallel between marriage and salvation. It is not 50/50. Christ paid it all. He took responsibility for everything, paid the whole bill, loved us even when we were idiots who despised him, gave up his life and even his potential to do what was best for us. It's the only way. Just do it guys. Don't hold anything back. Give up your pride, selfish and egotistical ambitions and just love her. Love her without any expectations. Love her even when she hates you.
