Hi Hannelore,
Just wanted to pop in and say I'm thinking of you and praying for you and your situation. I hope you're doing better today and keeping strong. Take care sweetheart.

Hannelore~~Thinking about you too, and wishing you blessings and sunny days ahead.

((((Hugs)))

You're in my prayers.

katebecca, that was Gloria Gaynor (Disco Princess singing AND dancing here!)

Hannelore, join the dance line! Still thinking about'cha, gf.

Are you sure, I thought it was Donna Summers, oh well, it's a good song especially if some jerk just dumped you :-)

Let's just make sure to keep on dancing!

I woke up this morning thinking about you, Hannelore. Then the Helen Reddy song went through my mind. Strange thing is I haven't been on here for a few days, and there the song was, right in this thread.

Hmmmmmm.....

So how are you doing? Feeling strong? Feeling invincible?

Ann, we are on the same wave length aren't we? Gosh that is ausome. I can't believe how wonderful you all are to keep thinking of me, even including me in your prayers. Can you all feel my hug?…It's a mighty big one!

Nothing has really changed…we are very civil and polite to each other. I'm taking 'one day at a time'…another good song. And I am putting all my cards on this counselling thing. My boys wanted to talk to their father, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I hope they do, and I hope they don't;…seems unfair to get them involved.

At this point I feel like a Leaf in the Wind. Is that a song? How about, 'A String tied to an Antenna'? Hmmm,… 'A Hair on a Lip'? 'A Run in a Nylon…?

Ugh….gonna stop before you all think I've gone wacky.

Sorry, I'm so late piping up. I've been on my own roller coaster ride and I hate heights!!

Anyway, I had another thought immediately upon reading your original post. Maybe, he is terribly afraid of death. You know most men are told to look at a woman's mother and you will see your wife in twenty to thirty years.

Could it be he is terrified of losing you? Some men have an irrational fear of the elderly and dieing. Could it be that he sees your mother as you in 30 years and it the thought of it terrifies him?

My ex son in law was that way. He didnt' want my daughter to breast feed his son or other motherly things because he had been abandoned by three mothers in his life. First his biological mother, then a step mom then another step mom.

I applaud your bravery in leaving. I hope you come to the ultimate conclusion that will have the best long range outcome for you and your family.

My heart and thoughts are with you right now and I'm watching you and learning for myself also. Thanks for the inspiration. You deserve the very best life has to offer.

Angel a chara......sending big Old Irish hugs your way hon....in my thoughts and prayers

Keep sweet and strong

Love ya

New Leaf, how very sweet of you to take the time to comment, especially after all the things that you're going through right now.

My husband is 10 years older than I am…and I do think he has a problem, not with MY aging, but with his "own" aging. He likes to count himself to the young 'uns. He is in great shape and looks more like 55 than 68, but still, maybe you are on to something there.

Yes, we ladies got to be strong. I'm sure it is very hard for you too, since you still love your husband. We have to look out for ourselves and trust our instincts.

Isn't it a blessing to be able to let yourself fall in this forum, and be picked up by all these gentle hands?
