There's hope for world peace...

R pulled another shenanigan Sunday. He told the children something again behind my back, which got Dearra very upset at me, and later at him. I got quite angry, told him he had crossed the line, and to get the h*ll out. Which he didn't do, no surprise. He was all sorry and feeling bad yesterday, and today he called some help line that they have at his work. Well when he explained to the woman what had happened, she basically called him a moron, and told him to look at it from my point of view. Which was, "she doesn't love you any more, so stop trying to do things that you think will fix it"... R? Reaching out for help? Admitting that he may be the victim of wrong thinking? Maybe there is hope for world peace...

I hope so, for your sake, because my husband has been told many times from his counselor that his words are not good. Then last night I tried telling him he was being too critical on our son, and he denied it..He does that because his father was critical, but he doesn't see it in himself..

If anyone has a degree, according to my husband, they know EVERYTHING!!! Of course the real test is, when I get my degree, will he finally listen to me??? Probably not...

Why do men do that for? Well, good thing he is seeking help..but a talk line doesn't seem to be the right place. Has he tried counseling? He knows it is over since you've told him many times. Next time you tell him to get out he should or follow it up with a call with the police. Or pack his bags while he is gone take them to a hotel pay for 1 day then when he comes home tell him u gotta surprise and take him to the hotel..and leave him..bot so easy since he seems to be really persistent he would just pack back up and come back home..change the locks on the doors change the numbers on phones..

If Dawny says so, it will happen bcoz Dawny is the most logical person on face of earth that I've come across. On the other hand, my sympathies to R. He love you and it is one sided. Sad state of affairs at his end. He truly needs to get out of touch with you to notice others.

Vandy Hi, - some men think they love their wives but the reality is they don't. They are too selfishly wrapped up in their own needs and wants and totally unaware of their partners needs and wants. Eventually, the marriage falls over and withers in the dust...that's when this particular husband has stepped up to fix the unfixable.

@Dawny - your situation is understandable. You have kids. You must have given him ample chances to change. But he took the situation for granted. It is also difficult to judge whether he truly repents for his past behavior or is merely acting to get you back. @MsTickle - I do understand what you are trying to say.

Hi Dawn, That's great that he actually realized enough to seek help. I love that the lady called it for what it was rather than candy coat it for him.

Honestly, I don't think that there is ever hope for world peace. However, I do think that there is plenty of hope that people will be able to grow as individuals throughout their lives. It is great to hear that he is trying to get the help that he needs that might be able to help him to move on in his life. Without that kind of help, I really don't think that he will be able to move on.

I guess it's a sign that he's moved on to the next phase, which is acceptance. That he can't do anything about it by himself and has to go ask for help. The next phase would be complete acceptance for him that it's not time for 'fixing' anymore, but to go and move on. And world peace!

Wow, I have heard a thing or two about this guy over these last couple of years and that does not sound like him at all! That sounds completely crazy that he would actually go to a help line. Sounds like that lady really laid it out for him, which is awesome. Well, maybe this will open his eyes, I sure hope it does. Happy Mylotting!

Wow, apparently there is a god out there if "R" was actually reaching out for help and the most ironic part is that he was actually getting help from a WOMAN. That should give him a hint, we are the ones with common sense and reality. I can't believe he still doesn't get the picture it's over. Things will never be what they were before.

When wars between nations can come into an end in a ceasefire agreement then I don't see why peace can't reign in a domestic affair. People are fickle minded, what they think now might not be the same in future. No matter what happened in the past, give love a chance to come back to its glory.
