In Case Any Of You Are Interested...
Dawnie up and left me a couple months ago. Says she wants to stay married, but she "needs space."
Trouble is, she has lied to me so many times, I cannot believe what she is saying now.
I don't need any sympathy. I'm a big boy and have dealt with this before. She'll either come back or she won't. Either way, I survive.
She needs your prayers, please. And I do too.
All is well.

You are on the right track, David. She will either come back or she will not. It is her decision. Let her make contact with you, if she wants, if not that is okay too. I wish you both wellness, safety and peace of mind no matter the path taken.
There is one feeling no marriage counselor can help with. That is contempt, if contempt is involved by either party then the end is a foregone conclusion.

Hope it works out for both of you
Many years ago maybe 45 plus
Ii was working with a old fellow in his early 60's after many years of marriage his wife just decided to divorce Him
He said after a month or two she wanted to come back .
He said no way after all those years and then just leave he did not want her back
He said she found out real quick the demand for 64 year old women was not there

I wish I had some profound words of wisdom that could help both of you. Unfortunately I don't, so I will include both of you in my prayers. Stay strong David. Bob

Sorry to hear that David. I've been down that road twice and it's pretty rough. Hang in there my friend.

That sucks, David. Like most here, I wish I had some profound wisdom to share, but I don't. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Like Bobjudy and NeoBlackdog, I have no profound words of wisdom for you.
I came to grips with a (somewhat) similar situation, when I realized I was better off (in the long run) without someone who didn't want to be with me.
Sorry you are having to go through this David.

What a headache, what a hassle. "Needs space" good grief.
I'd give her so much space she'd need a GPS to find Texas.

Wow, I don't know you face to face but have always admired you. How sad. When My first wife and I separated, only the love of a friend saved me. A year later I met my present wife of 46 years. Looking back, it wasn't the catastrophe I first imagined, which nearly cost me my life and the great 46 years since then. Grand children, great grand children and her "kids" all call me Dad or Pop. They say everything happens for a reason, but sometimes it takes a long time to realize it. Dammit, just dammit, it ain't easy, stay strong my friend.

Very sorry you are having to deal with this Nunn. Emotional Matters of the heart can be as catastrophic as physical matters.
During the nearly 49 years of my marriage to the same gal, I will admit to have actually paid in full the costs of 2 divorce lawyers. Reconciled both times before anything got legal. I know that women change a lot over the coarse of many years. Men do too but not nearly as drastic as the females! My upbringing instilled deeply the commitments promised "till death do you part" and I've made compromises that even ole Paul Harvey would be proud of.
Presently, we together are probably more in love than ever before. It is just a different kind of love. Companionship I guess is what it is called. Both of us have been at deaths door a time or two and I know that life has a lot more bumps in store for us. It is very nice to at least have someone who knows you better than anyone else on the planet to share all of those things ahead.
Anyway.....my rambling over.....I wish you and Dawnie all the best from here. Joel

Well..............that sucks. 20 years ago one of my best friends and shooting buddy had his wife of 30+ years leave him for a woman; a habit-wearing, pious nun, of all people! Then his wife also became a nun and I guess the two are still happily living together in a convent near Chicago. It was like some kind of soap opera!
I tried to get his mind off of it but he took to drinking and it was a sad story from there. I got lucky with my wife but you just never know. Women...who can figure them out?

You didn't let her take the dogs, did you?
That happened to my bro in Tehas. I thought that only happened in country songs.

I feel for you Mr. Nunn, went through similar situation only we actually got divorced, then we are currently back together, she found out life isn't all roses whether she was with me or not. It will work out for you however it is supposed to in the long run.

I've been married twice and neither turned out well. It's hard for me to be empathetic....given my own experience. I have been alone for well over 15 years now...........have no desire to get into another relationship......and celibacy won't kill you either.
How many times are you going to go back to the trough?

I remember when Dawnie posed with you in your front yard, she was wearing her cheerleader outfit.

"She'll either come back or she won't. Either way, I survive."
That right there is the most important part right now. But, you need to do more than 'survive'. You need to Thrive. Within good moral standards, you need to find/do whatever it takes to find peace and joy in your life.

Dang Nunn, hate to read this, but hang in there, you will survive no matter which side the coin lands on.
