    don't feel like a wuss, or a pushover for trying to save your marriage. I'm sure your the distance is hard on both of you.

    Abe Lincoln's wife was touched too, but he honored his covenant.

    Secretly take a picture of her nude and send it to her. Ask her if she can do any better than this, then come on over.[:D]
    Actually I like that idea. But, be sure to share with the rest of the board first. We'll tell you if it is a good photo or not.

    +1 We could take a poll on it[:D][:D][}:)]

    The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.

    Let's look at the future for a moment.Wanna spend the next 30 years doing this,how about the next 5 or 10 or the rest of your life.Sounds like your'e already close to "wits end".I took the trip your taking now 6 years ago,there was a 3year old daughter at the time she left me and moved back to mother in Ca.The decision to make it work was mine and she gave me the opportunity to try.140-150 guns,reloading equip.,my bunk house and all the contents in it,15+ serious years of collecting mostly antique and pre-war winchesters and Colts and the memorabilia not to mention giving up 400+ acres of perfect deer and pheasant habitat and an 18 acre private lake full of 4-8lb.bass 1 lb.bluegills ect.1 mile from the house.All gone in 3 days.No hunting or fishing for 5 years,no guns,no money,very few possesions and lived with her mother for the first year.4 years of counseling,fighting,and hell later things took a turn.I was responsible for some of the problems and took ownership of those parts as they became evident through my own counsel sessions.As i began to work on me and utilized the tools given to me by professionals in the feild, boundry's began to replace bad behavior on my part.4 years later she found it almost impossible to push my buttons cuz I either did'nt have them anymore or had the tools to proccess it in a more appropriate manner.That really flared her up and also got her involved in her own issues and professional help as well.6 months ago WE decided to move back to the midwest(It was her idea[:D])If there was'nt a child involved I'de a gave up long ago.Today I'm glad I did what I did,we still have trouble on occasion and we need to have periodic maintenence just like anything else that lasts a lifetime.So heres the deal,if you choose to stay it will cost you EVERYTHING cuz she wants proof that you love her.And it still won't be enough.You both need some serious proffessional help and the only one you can control is YOU so start there.Decide WHAT YOU WANT then go after it,but Decide,whatever you choose will cost you something and both include pain,But DECIDE.This is an opportunity to GROW,don't waste it and don't think it will just go away.You will be a better man for it and damned attractive to either her or the next woman you WISLEY choose.We all make mistakes in life, the winners learn from them,don't blame others, and don't repeat the trip.Make your decision Mister,get wise counsel from a professional,put in the hard work ahead of you and enjoy a brighter future.Post progress reports and watch your cheerleaders come out of the woodwork.Quit playing silly games and let her know what you intend to do.Or keep sticking the same wrong key in the same wrong lock and expecting a different result.Your choice; God speed in your purpose Mister and may it turn out as good or better than my trip; ST

    You're a more patient and forgiving man than I. But I didn't have any children with any of my ex-wives.
