TMI- Too much information. It gets ugly out there. ;)

And everyone who's ever been married knows that feeling, and dreads it. Solution? You get up and resolve to fix the problem a little at a time. If it can't be fixed, you work on understanding how you got there in the first place, and fixing those mistakes.

Believe me, if it had been that easy, it would have happened. But, like I said...TMI.... It wasn't something that was fixable. It wasn't Ward and June discussing the Beaver forgetting his homework. It was much uglier and darker and sadder...for both of us. Like rotting trees in a drowned valley. There was so many lies, so much deceit, so much pure evil that it was something that pretty much ripped who I was before to shreds and left someone else in her place. I wouldn't want to wish what happened to me on my worst enemy.

But, with that being said.....Yes, I did learn from my mistakes, that was the one positive thing gained from the whole experience. Which is why I don't wish to get married again. For the sakes of all parties!

Nope. It will be because God calls you.

Maybe, mebby not. I have had a couple of wrong numbers so I will be extremely cautious.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

My first marriage was a living hell as well. But, in a way, I'm glad it happened the way it did. I had no idea what I was capable of when the threats were escalated the way that they were. And, I was stronger in the end.

I'm sorry for your pain. As RandallFlagg points out, it's not just something that men do to women; my brother could say the same thing you said about his first marriage.

You'd be surprised, though, just how thoroughly Ward and June can hurt each other over the Beav's homework, if they give in to that temptation. A wife knows every open wound in her husband's soul, and vice versa. The more you love someone, the more that person can hurt you ... and the more you have to trust them not to use that power.
