First of all, thank you all so much for all of your responses when I first posted that my wife and I were having problems. (See post: http://www.prince.org/msg...msg_914689 , if interested) I did listen to what some of you had to say, and we also saw a counselor... my new insight is this not so new revelation.

The key to any good relationship is COMMUNICATION!!!

We were having such problems even talking to eachother. We were doing things and going out of our way to hurt eachother... we have come so far.

Because she listened to me, and I to her, our lives together have improved dramatically. We were on the verge of breaking up, in fact, we actually did in a tearful exchange of feelings... only, we caught ourselves.

We have kids, we have a mortgage, we have so many things that tie us together financially and emotionally... hasty decisions are not something that we can afford when you have a family.

I'm so glad we went through this, afterall. We are closer now than ever, and more in love than ever... in fact, I can't wait to see her when she's gone!

Life is good. God bless you all...

I'm glad everything's going well.

comminication is usually th e main thing wrong in relationships..actually listeing to what the other si saying:what they actually mean and feel about what they are saying ( and the person explaining what they feel and mean)is essential etc...congrats on it working out for u two

Good for you June7.

Excellent. Glad to hear it, Siete de Junio.

Thanks you guys... I really mean it!!!

Up until this part, I was very worried...like he turned to the ORG for advice? But then I read this...



And was relieved. PHEW! Glad to hear things are working out for you.

Good luck

Go June good luck with everything.

Excellent news!

Just curious, cause I've asked this question before but not gotten many serious answers: do you think your time on the Org had a negative effect on your relationship? Did your "leave of absence" from the Org help?

Spooky sig, Xtopher...me likey!

This is a very good question, but it doesn't apply in my case.

My wife works "out of a suitcase" so to speak, she's gone from Monday thru Friday...

I was a "stay at home Dad" up until last Feb., when I got a part time job to escape my wife's meddling Aunt, who lived with us. The part time job turned into full time, and the Aunt moved out... Now I'm a single parent from Monday thru Friday.

Even so, I never signed on that much during the day... you'd see me mostly at these odd hours in the midnight to early morning shifts. Kids in bed, homework done, dinner served, baths taken... etc. Now it's "Thomas Time" (not to be confused with "Hammer Time", of course), when I log onto the Org and act goofy and sick.

My wife and I would talk on the cell phone a lot, late at night... that was never a problem. We just weren't communicating... until it all went down hill.

Btw - you'll also notice that I'm not usually here on weekends, I've always tried to stay offline in general, when my wife was home. I'd want to spend time with her and enjoy her company when she's home, even then...

The past few weeks she was on vacation, which was probably our best ever, so I was gone... and last week, she called in sick and stayed home for a week, which was wonderful... hence my absence then.

I could see how the Org could be a problem though, in some people's lives... but since I live here with y'all when I'm solo at home... it doesn't affect us.

Christopher said:

Hey man, that was our little secret... you just lost your cut!

June7 said:

Whew!

I was gonna say!

Nothing compares to Hammertime!


Honestly, Juneypoos, how awesome that you've rekindled your love. Life is wonderful.

June7 said:

Excellent! I'm glad lil Auntie is gone now, too. Relatives can cause a LOT of stress.

June7 said:

but you said i could have that 17 cents you know im trying to buy new bmw

Christopher said:

That'll teach you to keep a secret then... won't it??

June7 said:

yes

*runs away crying like a girl*

AnotherLoverToo said:

She was here almost a year... she wasn't so bad, and helped out a lot.. but, yeah, she needed to go.

Christopher said:

Look at the little girly boy... running like a girly boy... Bwaaa haaa haaa haaa!



Oh... damn my love filled heart! Here's Enjoy the down payment!

...and quit jackin' my thread! :bastid:

This whole EllisDee and NwPwrSoul mix up keeps getting me confused... funny, the power of an avatar. I thought this was Ellis...

Thanks for the kind words.

I'm really happy you sorted things out ...

I am happy for you June7! I hate to see ppl break up, but at least you and your wife have that staying power, and that is what marriage is about. Fighting for what you believe and not walking away.Too many ppl walk away too quickly hence so many divorces, if they just stick around and work together, it can work out!

It's great to hear this June!

It's clear to all that read your posts that you really do love your wife with all your heart. I'm so happy you are doing better.

So nice to hear of people wanting to work things out.
And I am so happy U did.
What a blessing for your children, too.

Melody

You made me smile... I am so glad for you, and your family.
