Prayer for Daniel(dj454)

[dj454]

Hey guys I haven't been on here in a while because I have been dealing with my wife leaving me. I know some of you have been through it and know how hard it can be. I just haven't been myself and haven't felt like posting or even reading the forum. I have still been shooting and reloading for therapy but I miss my shooting partner. She decided she hadn't got to live enough since we married young and wants to see what else is out there. I tried to make it work but what can you do when your the only one who wants it to work. Remember me I will appreciate it. I was numb at first and just did things to try and cheer myself up. Bought guns went shooting every weekend spent a lot of money but here I am now and reality has set in and I am having a tough go of it. I know I can make it but when you lose someone you spent 10 years with it is hard. Especially under the circumstances. I was glad to see this new category. I definately need prayer. Thanks guys and ladies.

Daniel, you have my (and I bet a lot of other) prayers. Yes, we have been where you are in some way, shape or form. You are not alone, if you need to talk, let me or anyone else know - PM us.

It sounds trite but you will get through this. Look to the Lord for guidance, and hang in there brother - you have a lot of friends here who want the best for you.

 My Ex picked the day before  Christmas to tell me she wanted a divorce.
Do you have kids ? that makes it a awful lot harder.
Just remember, YOU WILL SURVIVE THIS.

A few days before my 31st birthday, I found out that my first wife was seeing one of my bosses. I was pretty shakin up and didn't know what to do for a long time. I kept feeling like I was supposed to wait and see if she wanted to work on it. Eventually, I got smart and made a decision for myself that it was time to move along. I took the dog, which made it a little easier, and decided I'd make better things happen.

I'm remarried and have 2 children. The ex never had children - she just turned 40 and had really had wanted to. She got her partying instead.

I'll be praying for you. Time really does make things easier. Good luck.

Daniel I have been where you are. I went to my girlfriend's house with a ring in my pocket a year after I graduated college and after a bad fight. I wanted to apolgize and make things right and tell her how much I loved her  only to have her stop me from saying a word before I could propose when she announced that she wanted to break up as she needed to "grow". I am ashamed to admit I was childish enough (and money foolish enough) to dump the ring on the table and walk out. Thing is, a few months later she showed up and gave me back the ring and apologized. We never got back toghther but have remained friends (with benefits) for almost twenty years.  You have my support. Maybe you can reclaim at least the friend you had, maybe you can't, but either way remember, there's more pretty girls than one (to quote a country song and what the hell else would you quote when talking about divorce)? If you still love her don't let yourself get bitter. If you don't, don't let yourself get bitter. It is a major turnoff for future girfriends. Love her or don't, but move on, maybe she'll come back around, maybe she won't, either way YOU are responsible for making yourself happy now. Go find a woman who makes you laugh, not one that makes you horny. The last thing you need is a hormone fueled rebound. Find the girl that makes you laugh, makes you smile when she does something embarrasing and who you want to spend your time with. Screw looks and money. You are living in the real world with rest of us now. Find a real woman. My prayers are with you.

DJ,

Been there twice.  It doesn't get easier.

But...

I can tell you you will 'get over' it.  It isn't easy and it does hurt - but a little less each day.

We're here for ya, call any time ya want.

DJ,

I too have been there. There is a reason for everything, and you will be stronger and better off in the long run.

As everyone has said, if you need to talk give me a pm anytime!

Take care.

Know that I will be praying for you!

My dad left us when I was in high school, and I have had many friends go through this.  I understand much, but never all, of what you are going through.  The best I can tell you, beyond I will be praying, is that this is grief of the highest level.  It is a very powerful separation you are going through.  You need to feel the pain, accept the pain, work through the pain, and you will come out on the other side just fine.  Any short cuts you take, namely drugs and alcohol, will only cripple you for years, and any attempts to avoid the pain will only delay it.

Let it hurt, heal well, and we will support you through prayer and anything else we can.  Just let us know!
