Central Texas here. Born in Oklahoma, but got here as fast as I could!

Great advice flnativegrl. It's clear God has given you much grace and wisdom in your circumstances and is using you to light the way for others who have similar struggles. Thank you for sharing how God has grown you through a very painful situation.

I have savitri. My husband is scheduled to move out on 12/1. Right now it's just silence with a few sporadic texting wars every couple of days (about the only way we can communicate any more). For me, the silence simply says, "We're done. We've tried everything. There's nothing more we can say...

Atha, I pray God will release you from this darkness you feel inside, in the name of Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Lord, you have said that you live within us and we know you are greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Thank you Father that you sent your son to win this battle...

Wooddove, it sounds like you've lived my life (we are at 14 years). I've read that a lot of NPDs can fool their therapists. Although, I have to say that the last two counselors we've gone to see together have BOTH told me he had a really serious victim mentality. I too have been ostracized by...

Thanks flnativegrl. It's such a relief to know there are others out there who have been through the same thing. He has SUCH a fascade that people act like I'M crazy when I suggest that he may not be all that he presents himself to be. AAAHHHHHH!!! It makes me SO crazy. But he's planning on...

Sorry for the delayed post. I haven't been able to get online for a while. I definitely agree Catherineanne. That's been a big concern is that my two daughters will end up looking for a man "just like Dad," which would be just another generation of nightmares. I, too, am surrounded by...

Oh, thank you!!! It's so nice to know there are people out there who know what I mean when I say that. It's a very strange thing and really hard to describe. It looks like that's the way we're gonna have to go. He's decided he will not get any help because he "doesn't need it" (i.e., I'm the one...

Thanks myanchor. That's good advice. I already see him surrounding himself with a whole new "narcissistic supply" (females at work and online) in anticipation of us divorcing (and he's not even out of the house yet!!!). I have no doubt it will be just a matter of weeks before he's put his foot...

Wow. It's possible I may have the most long-winded posts on this thread. And I've commented about all these things, including the issue of lying. So, I'll spare everybody the repetition and not comment again on things I've already commented on. I hate repeating myself. Maybe I just need to start...

No, my point was, I don't know why the posts here seem to be so intently focused on the issue of lying. Like I said earlier, it's just part of the dysfunction, whether you're homosexual or otherwise. It's part of the package. If you're living in sin, you will eventually have to lie about it, if...

I'm with ya! :thumbsup: Mario doesn't hurt nearly so bad!

I know. I actually love it too. I'm just mad it it right now. ;) The kids think they're going to have to put parental controls on ME because they're always having to wrench the remotes away from me. I really love the Wii Fit. I've been doing it quite a bit this last year. I've lost 25 pounds...

Yes. I did compare homosexuality to alcoholism, debauchery, and overeating. Although I did not compare it to being a “minority.” That’s a completely different issue. (And thanks for the thumbs-up, by the way. You must be an Aggie too! ;)) I’m still trying to figure this forum out and am...

Wow. I'm sorry. I'm a newbie. Did I accidentally stumble on a secular site? It's hard to tell. I have to say I'm really disappointed to see Christians "grownups" unable to have polite discourse about this. I understand the need to try and make this a yes/no, black/white issue. We humans...

Wii Fit said this morning that I was 22, but after I do cardio boxing, my knees and elbows feel 82. I think Wii Fit is a big, fat liar. :)

Thanks Davin. Frankly, I'm past the point of seeking happiness, I just want not to be miserable any more. I did tell him I would stay if he would: 1. Get a professional diagnosis (only because I can't convince him he's got a problem...he says his problem is my "victimizing" him...hoping a...

I honestly don't think it's a black-and-white question, so the answer seems just as gray as the question. I'm definitely nothing close to an expert, but I have done a lot of research lately in the area of neuroscience. With all the new "windows on the mind" that we have these days (like new...

Thanks for your replies. Yes, actually, I've been with a Christian counselor for a few months. I understand he can't make the decision to stay or go for me. And he really doesn't seem to be trying to influence me either way. He reminded me that if I stay, it will likely mean being resigned to...
