Well,
I have been praying for intervention from God and it seems that he is hearing my prayers. It finally came out that she was with another guy for a time, and that is why (among my treating so badly she went looking) she was saying I think it is over, I think God would say that too, etc. But, somehow, God told her to come back to a second session of counseling and she agreed. She will tell me that it could take years, months, whatever. She also promised to break it off and asked me to trust her and she will do whatever it takes to make us work.
I believe her in my heart. But my brain says otherwise. The counselor told us to sleep in separate bedrooms to relieve the emotional pressure off of her and to give her space when she needs it. However, she took that to mean that she can just leave on a Friday and return Sunday night from her friends house and expect me to believe her that that is what she did and was not with this guy. The counselor did not mean for her to leave for days on end, she just heard what she wanted to.
Yesterday, we finally got somewhere I believe. She told me she could make it work, but she didn't know if her heart would be there and asked if that is what I want. She is stll making excuses to do what is right. I told her that until I know for a fact that it is over between her and him, I will have doubt about her. I asked her to call him (I don't have the phone number) What if I can't do it? What if I change my mind while telling him? He is going to be upset, what if I can't take that? Well, we have 17 years together, you have a grand total of 6 weeks (for an actual week of time at the most) Give us the chance.
Sure, it could be better with him, unlikely 10 years or even 2 years from now. In fact, you probably won't be him in 6 months. But, whatever the case, I promised you I would be changing everyday and that with Gods help I will be the man you need and desire.
She explained that her brain says work it out, she has told me she can make it work out, but there is a little piece of my heart that says don't cause it is with him. She doesn't know what to do she says. So tonight she is talking to the counselor by herself for the first part. She is supposed to go over her homework where she writes down her ideas of the perfect/ideal husband. Funny how she has procrastenated on that because she has been with her "friend" all weekend. She is also going to tell the counselor about the other guy. She has me nervous about what she will be saying. Sometimes I get the feeling she wants the counselor to tell me she is through, however, she told me she was going to tell the counselor nothing more than what we have been talking about. I think she is hoping the counselor will have pitty on her for the "tough" choice she has to make. That won't happen. She will tell her that she needs to break the ties now, stay at home instead of leaving for days on end.
I believe God is showing her the way back home to me, the kids and a new and happy life.
She is also supposed to do the exercise I was going to do tonight alone with me. She says she isn't, but I don't think she will have a choice.
Well, pray for the next session and the one after that one and on.
Pray for her to committ to the initial 6 months of counseling tonight to work this all out and that her heart will open up again and that when God is ready, we will be whole and one again.
