"CountryGirl, it was unlikely that I would have received any help of the sort which would have forced my ex-husband to continually live the vows he and I made as a married couple. "



Lola, I'm not sure of your situation, but unfortunately there is never any way someone can be forced to keep their marriage vows...I went with my husband to marriage guidance counselling at first, but it turned out he was using it as a stalling tactic to buy himself some time to arrange a new place to live (he admitted it later)...so even something that appears to be a method of help towards reconciliation only works if both parties are working towards the same goal.

I prayed so hard that my ex-husband would turn around from his bad choices, but he went his own way. My kids and I have had a much better life without him (I can say that with confidence as he was a very selfish and impatient man) so I have to focus on the positives.
