lol @ SeatBelt wanting her to give his name back. I sort of can understand this,but I guess I feel too like...well,we had this deep relationship before it all went south,I didn't ask her for the engagement or wedding rings back (a "symbol" of our "love & commitment") then I guess I shouldn't take back my name either. LOL
We can always pray that the ex's want to re-marry someday..then they have to get rid of our last names! lol

please... those rings probably got sold off to pay for snickers bars and bank fees for bouncing the child support checks. She can keep em.
Honestly, if she'd walk away from the kids all together & sign away her "parental rights", I'd not only make sure that she still got visits with the kids, I'd figure out how to live without her paying child support. Her money is needed, but I'd rather not have the money if it means being able to only have her messing with their heads on my terms.
guh... did I say i was going back to work... cause I'm going back to work now.
ttyl peeps.

Ya know folks, I appreciate the care and concern you've expressed for me. It means a lot.
And thank you for not reading my posts in Streams and thinking I'm nuts. I've learned recently that I should do a better job at caring for myself. I'm not really sure how to start doing that, but at least I recognize that I should.
From prior posts in this forum one might think we're not supposed to think we deserve things. But you know what? I think my Father wants me to have people in my life that love me, who aid in my growth, who teach/show/cause happiness.
Maybe step one is distancing myself from certain people. That's a shame. I love them dearly.

In all honesty,I'm sure I've said it before. I want my ex to come to know God & to have a happy life doing whatever it is she does. I wish her truly all the best. I am thankful to God that He has helped me through all of that..to get past it all...and to have healed me & shown me so many things in my heart that I wasn't ready to accept or know back then. It just goes to show you how faithful He is to watch over us even when we are involved in something we more than likely should not be involved with,and how He can take what the devil wanted to use to break us & destroy us and then turn it around to show us His goodness & love...making us stronger in the long run.
I told Peanut the other day that for as horrible of a year as I had last year...with all the pain & heartache..the physical junk..you name it...to see now some of what God has taught me..bringing me through this..blessing me with her,this woman of God who shares her heart with me & makes me feel like what a true man is supposed to feel like,because she is so submitted to the Lord & loves Him with all her heart...I told her,I would endure all of the past year again if I knew it was going to lead me to this point in my life here & now,just to be with her at her side someday. God has richly blessed me with so many things,sometimes it's overwhelming to sit back & try to take it all in.
Ok..I am wondering how many posts I have missed & how messed up it was for me to derail...I should have gone to "streams" .lol

And again I say, I wonder if this is how my ex feels. I hope after all this time he has some
fond memories of us and doesn't look back and say"She was the biggest mistake I ever
made". So sad!!! Most especially because we have the two greatest children in the world.
How can you ever regret the madness when there are blessings like that in your life?
Or even when we were the ones who made the decisions to marry the ones we did.

If I had a child(ren) and got divorced, I'd keep my husband's last name.
I must say, I'm glad I didn't get married when I had the opportunity to! The first time I was 19... that would have been dumb for lots of reasons. The second time 22, also dumb. Third time 28. Marrying Andrew would have been horrible. We would have made cute babies though. Tall, cute babies.

Firstly,I was being sarcastic when I said we can always pray they re-marry & get rid of our last names...and if you carry on further into the thread you will see that I do not regret my divorce or the fact that I was married to her. I have told you before that I regret marrying an unbeliever. I should not have done that as a believer myself. Plain & simple. Her & I had many good times & memories I will have. I don't regret those. I regret my own shortcomings & my not following God in the way I should have been. I think this is normal to regret past relationships & sometimes to ponder what went wrong. In the same breath I am thankful to God for allowing me to go through all of that so that I could come to the end of myself..I learned a ton of what to do & not to do. I pray that I remember those things,as to not make the same mistakes again.
