Hi-
Since this has happened to me, I have been continually praying to God to give me sign; something to help me through this. Nothing. Then, yesterday at work, I was writing something for a co-worker, and wrote the word "Change" in a note, with a bright green marker. It may sound cheesy, but it struck me that if I wanted change, I'd have to do it myself. Also, the color green has always symbolized growth and I really think I got my sign, I guess you just need to be open to them.

Camult,


I really never felt I was alone with the feelings of betrayal I've experienced over the years, but the message boards here have given me hope that there is something beyond what I lived.

Mandi,


It's called an epiphany -- a sign -- from seemingly nowhere.

What you said, abou tlookig for soemthing deep when nothing deep was there, is hugely powerfult o me. My DH is very insecure, mistrustful, suspicious and an alcoholic to boot. We have been married 3 years, together 7. We are in therapy but he is resistant to change. I am seeignthat we are very different people. I have alwasy been opne, kind, loving, spontaneous,

And she quotes a lyric!!!!!


Ya know... I used to sing that song triumphantly when I was closer to 30.... that, and a bunch of other empowering music.


I often wonder why it took me so long to make the decision that I was worth more than I was settling for in my marriage, but ya know.... if I'd made the call any sooner, I may have left wondering "what if...?"

Good.For.You!! Yay Goddess! You sound very empowered and determined to enjoy life now that you're putting your time with him in perspective. I admire that. I'm no where near where you are--though I have moments of empowerment...I look forward to more and more empowering times as the months go by. Continued happiness and success for you!!

I can relate a little to your story..........the staying when you know it's dead and has been for a long time.
