Just gave him back the ring

Sorry to hear that! If it''s for the best, then so be it. I''m glad you had the guts to end it, even if it is REALLY hard!! Lots of hugs to you!

 

[princessplease]

I am SO sorry. It takes an amazingly strong and respectful person to end a relationship based on differences, and to not stay and settle.

Hugs, Melissa, and best wishes to you and your children. We''re here for you if you need us.

 

[ckrickett]

I am so sorry, I know you must be hurting now.
However you made the right choice and I'm so happy to hear that you were strong enough to do that, rather then wait months, years down the line when it would have been much harder.
we are all here for you!
/hugs!

 

[tessa]

I know you are feeling bad but in the long run you made the right decision.
Better a breakup than a divorce... for you and the kids!

I have cried on your shoulder and now I offer you mine.
Any time you want to talk you know where to find me.

 

[Indylady]

Lots of hugs Melissa!

I have always loved reading your posts, and its from them that I know what a strong woman you are. It takes a lot of guts to do the right thing sometimes, and I commend you for taking a stand even though it hurts.

I have been torn on the topic of religion and its part in relationships for a long time, but I think your decision makes a lot of sense. If anything ever happens to my family, my first thought is to pray. Imagine if your hubby wasn''t right there beside you praying?

I wish you all the best! Take care of yourself!

 

[mrscushion]

Big hugs. I''m very sorry.

 

[gwendolyn]

As Princess said "It takes an amazingly strong and respectful person to end a relationship based on differences, and to not stay and settle".. I hope you find some comfort in that.

I''m soooo sorry...those panic attacks are your body and mind telling you that something is not right. I know its not easy
but I think you have made the right decision. Please take care.

 

[Nomsdeplume]

((((((HUGS))))))
I''m so sorry to hear that, and I know nothing I say can make the pain go away.
I just want you to know that I have immense respect for you.

 

[oakpark]

So sorry it turned out that way, but happy for you that you made the best decision for you....if that makes sense. I''m a seldom-poster, but always respect the advice you have given to everyone in the past and your support of everyone here....I hope you stick around here and that you find support with PS!

(((((((((((((((((((Hugs, love))))))))))))))))))))

so, sorry this one didn''t turn out to be your forever love! i really do believe that the love you put into the world eventually comes back to you--so i know you are going to be ok, very soon.

 

[chiapet]

Melissa, I just want to say how sorry I am to hear about this. You deserve so much better and I think that it''s so brave of you to have the guts to call it off before it''s too late. Big ((((HUGS))). I hope you''re doing okay and please let us know how everything goes.

 

[AllieGator]

I''m so sorry, but it sounds like you knew what you had to do. Good luck!

 

[Winks_Elf]

Thank you, everyone, for the kind words. It is hard, but needed to be done so that I can move on with my life.

 

[risingsun]

I''m sorry that you are going through this. You seem like a very strong woman and I wish you well as you move on with your life.

Christian + nonreligious = unhappy Christian. You and the kids deserve someone who will represent your values. Hopefully he''s just around the corner

In your heart you know it''s the right decision although I know it was an awfully hard decision to make

. I have to agree with purrfectpear - as a Christian it''s important for me and my other half to attend church together and draw on our faith when times get tough. You also have your children to consider so I applaud your strength in letting him go.

 

[Lauren8211]

I''m sorry to hear this, Winks.

Sounds like you probably made the right decision, although that doesn''t make it any easier.

Take care of yourself.

 

[Bia]

Winks, I''m very sorry to hear this.

Lots and lots of (((hugs))) your way.

 

[iwannaprettyone]
