Hang tight my friend.

Bob,
Expectations are so tough not to have. I know I'll do just about anything if I have a goal or end game in mind. All the hurt and all the pain can be worth it if it means a better tomorrow and happiness. It's easy for me to think the answer for my happiness is my ww wanting me back and us being together again, because that's all I've known of happiness for 14 years or at least what I tell myself.

If I'm really honest with myself, my end game is still to be happy. But that's only going to come with being happy with myself. I do believe timing is everything. Whether it is my ww down the road or someone I don't know yet, whomever I'm meant to be with will only be attracted to me and I will only be able to truly be there for them after I work on myself.

So your posts have reminded me, my end game needs to be a better me for my own happiness and not as an endgame to get my wife back. Easier said than done.

Hang in there, bob. 8 months well spent!

Hi Rip, thank you so much buddy! I appreciate the words of encouragement. You made me feel better!

Hi everyone else, I am so tied down with work stuff now. I hope to be online tonight. (It’s noon by me now.)

Thinking of you all. I said a very special prayer for Sandi, her H and D, and Vanilla last night, to just name a few.

DifRent, I will keep them coming, I promise. Also, thank you for your prayers. I sure could use them.

For HeavyD, and anyone else who likes the Bible verses I choose (believer or non-believer) I found this one inspiring about hope:

"I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from His love. Death can’t, and life can’t. The angels can’t, and the demons can’t. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can’t keep God’s love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:35, 38-39 NLT).

For a few days, I felt like I was losing hope. I don't know why. The verse above, and the people on this forum, gave me hope again.

Thanks.

*Hugs* to the ladies and *fist bumps* to the men. cool

I love those bible verses, Bob. They have helped me out more than once. I'm glad that you are feeling a bit better and that we were able to help.

Are you doing anything fun for yourself tonight?

Great verse Bob. I am not a Christian but read every verse that you post. There's something in all of the messages that we can use for strength in these tough times.

Keep posting them if you would!

Hope your spirits are rising a bit.

Hi Eirinn,

How are you? I'm happy the Bible verses have helped you several times.

Thanks for asking, but I was very sick yesterday, not really online and just saw your post. So, no, I just rested but do feel a little better today. (I'm working from home.)

xoxo to my "sis"

My buddy PigPen,

Thanks for the kind words about the verses. I agree with you, Christian or not, there's something in all of the messages that we can use for strength. I'm happy that you enjoy them.

I was very sick yesterday, but feeling somewhat better today (working from home).

Thanks for the encouragement, my spirits are rising a little.

Bob

Hey all my friends!

As you can see in my previous 2 posts, I was very sick yesterday but feeling better today. Except...at this moment I am wondering how our court date is going. Today was the first court in 45 days or so because the judge ordered my W to find her own health insurance. Only our Ls are there today.

I feel that W will comply and find something. One way or the other, it makes me ("Mr PMA" - LOL) kind of sad as things seem to be heading toward the Big D. Also, waiting for word from my L and being at home alone makes me feel SO lonely right now.

I came across a simple prayer a friend passed on to me a while ago to help with loneliness.

Here it is:

"Lord, You are always with me. I want to feel Your arms around me. Fill the deepest part of my lonely soul. Amen."

Here's a Bible verse that seems to fit:

“Be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20 NLT).

Peace to all and bye for now. I'll post the results from court when I hear from my L and have time.

Bob
