my husband has it stuck in his mind that all i do is lie and make excuses for my past mistakes. When i am telling the truth about something he still thinks im lying. What can I do to s
I love Candise very much as strong as desth, i called and told how happy i was for her for achieving her goals didn't get much feed back she is still mad about this weekend i still love her and only her.
so I just wanted to say not only have I been doing the love dare challenge for myself but watching the YouTube love dare with Kirk Cameron. it also helps me out and sometimes help give me advice to help my marriage.
I will burn the paper of negatives later and Speak to my wife of her success which I am proud off
thia was hard as my wife is not around i cant talk to her she blocked me out of her life for good
this is becoming hard. done my task and it went good. but the better half seemed upset i was asking for something on her way home. then just dug me a hole because i didnt want it.
this has been soooo hard. i feel like everything i do is wrong and he admits all the time hes talking to me negatively and apologizes but theres been no change.
im struggling so bad right now. im trying to stay positive but its hard. i feel like this situation is easier for him when i know it may not be.
I wish everyone good luck because this is ending up to be a waste of time for me. I was hoping that it would workout but I see that my husband is not going to change. Good luck everyone.
my husband saw I was doing love dare and said Im not doing that. he said I am not his best friend and doesnt want to talk about it. all I can do is give it to God.

my wife asked me to move out today...i asked her to give me 40 days. she agreed and i told her that i would leave on day 40 if she still feels the same way.
really hard to not be jealous when she tells me she wants to meet this guy she's been talking to for months so she can see if she's sexually attracted to him
really hard to not be jealous when she tells me she wants to meet this guy she's been talking to for months so she can see if she's sexually attracted to him 😞
My husband has improved himself sooo much and advanced in his career Soo much. He has a nice truck now too and we're home owners. so happy for him. God is Soo good!
I am doing this love dare cause me and my husband messed up. But it is because we quit putting God first in our marriage. Now I am trying to allow God to fix what we both have broken.
we had a short convo today. not about anything but no arguing PRAISE GOD for small gifts🙏🙏
Day 8: I altered the challenge slightly by shredding the list of negatives. I chuckled as the shredder made its grinding noise...a picture of the release of my anger. Then I congratulated my husband for getting so much stronger on the bicycle.
how do u do this uf she wont speak to u at all even change her number
My big question! Weve been seperated 2 years and ive worked on me the whole time. i feel good. He wants intimacy but wont let me close.
How do you get through this when they are falling in love with someone else? I do not have some one on my sidelines to cheer me on and help me those days I struggle to get through this journey. How do I continue?
hard. I showed i could control my jealousy. he made a statement in a convo w/ friends not realizing I looked at it as so much more... I feel like he has lied to me about physical attraction our entire marriage. I kno Im beautiful just not his type.
I don't even know what to say for this date, he hasn't achieved much in the year or so. I'm paying so hard that God will guide me Feeling anxious though. There are other things I want to say to him but am trying hard to stick to the programme
I went to pick up our son, I gave her a card and talked to her for a bit. told her I was proud of her then we started to talk about things we had going on to try and work on. and boom it was like I lit dynamite. everyday just gets harder.
Having a hard time with this one. I thought I was doing this just to make a good thing better but I have told him it bothers me that he spends so much time on his phone that it makes me jealous of his phone. He won't even look at me.
Does anyone know a support group or a hotline # I can call to talk to someone I could really use help or being able to talk to someone?
My husband puts the blame on me for his affair because I didnt give him more children when we didnt have child care and it takes both to pay the bills and for us not being intimate enough when we share a room with kids
my husband went to stay the night with the other woman but still wants me to be doing physical things and wife duties with him. this is confusing the kids and hurting me why cant he see he is hurting us
As I burned my list I started to pray and ask God to take over his heart.
I broke my wife's trust by looking and taking a photo of her list for me to work on.she found out and now kicked me out. I am praying for forgiveness
when I burnt the paper it was such a lightening event. idk it was like I KNEW something was about to change in me. thank you Jesus ahead of time for saving my heart and our marriage!
Struggling with these days. I'm so hurt and want to forgive some days it's hard to live up to his example and forgive. I will keep trying because he gave his life for my sins I will keep trying.
so I did great and then right before bed blew up on him again... i don't know I'm trying then I mess it up somehow. pray for me please. we got through it, but what's wrong with me?
I'm not going to stop at 40 2day is 48 and it works if you work it tust God
I'm on day 48 2day and I don't plan on giving it up that 4 shore this actually works if you work it n I am
Today was a good day. I told him I was proud of how far his lawn business has come and that I can't wait to see how far it goes. Also, later tonight I poured my heart out to him about how much of a jerk I have been to him.
why was burning this so hard? like it was something I hesitated with.... God help me let go
Super excited about today's exercise. Let's see how it goes.
Today has been a rough day. My fiancee tells me he is not looking at other women but it sure seems like it to me. It is very disrespectful to me. He also has an anger issue. He has physically hurt me in the past.
he said yeah ans corrected me that he's only been there for 3! well to me thats even better! ans I told him I haven't seen him this happy with a job in forever!
so I told him that he's a hard worker, hes got this and these past couple of months hes came along way, only been there for 4 months and already looking at crew leader, hard work really does pay off!!
he told me a guy quite at work after I told him goodmorning!
as I've been following this little Love Dare that I was challenged by my best friend of 20 years who is now my girlfriend sleeping in my truck
He wants a divorce and he's standing firm. No desire to try counseling. No infidelity. He doesn't feel loved. He's avoiding me all day. Sleeps seperate. How do I do these daily dares?
I think there is a big difference between jealousy and not tolerating being disrespected by My Husband or anyone else.
I'm struggling with this one and could use some encouragement, I burnt the list but my wife is talking to another guy and I don't know how to let go of that, it just continues to make me mad and I don't know what to do.
so far so good.... still taking baby steps....though he stills gives me a cold shoulder
Haven't got to speak to her the last few days. I have told her proud of her with her job and all she has accomplished. I burt the list today as well. Hoping things are headed in the right direction. I miss my wife.
No success to celebrate but burned the list. He tore his rotocuff out, again.Found out yesterday, $8000 again for surgery. he needs to repeat it and I didn't yell, or say told ya so. But God. He will help us get thru this, too.
part of me wanted him to see the list so he could realize what myself and my close friends see. but I know God has a plan and I've prayed hard he reveals to him those things
Done, we went to a family braai. She enjoyed it, came home at about 10:30pm and went to bed. Chatted until about 12. Good day it was.
Done. It felt good to burn the negative. But that plane crashed quickly. No response to my compliment just asked if Ive been looking for my own place. I didnt reapond, she said we will discuss after papers are filed.
Took 2 days but did not give up! Done!
we talked today, told her about upcoming counciling. she didn't refuse. felt the anger building though. she says she doesn't even cry anymore. I have really hurt her.
She wants space but has control of all the accounts from credit to everyday bills. I need access to them to switch them over to my name but I want to respect her wishes. What should I do?
Finally had a talk with the wife this morning. She says she could never trust me again and wants a divorce not a separation.
This is going to be a no on sharing. She has asked for space and no contact. How do I respect her wishes and complete the task entirely?
I wrote a letter and thanked him for plugging in the treadmill.
Today I told her all about how I appreciate all of her and how awesome of a wife she is and how beautiful she is no matter what everyone else think.
Jealousy is such a strange and strong thing and it makes me do a lot of stupid things. I love my chocolate, and for her and our relationship I will change, I will learn to totally trust. I live you my chocolate
