Thank You

A friend gave me a piece of advice that his mother had given him in the same circumstances: "You didn't do NOTHING wrong, you are still working during the day and coming home at night, taking care of what needs doing, just like a HUSBAND AND A WIFE are suppose to do; SHE broke that contract, not YOU! So you get that out of your head RIGHT NOW!!!"

Thanks for this.

Hi Eddie. After seeing your original post and relating to it pretty much, and looking at your construction website, noticing all the incredible home-works that have been done, I can't believe that over the years and along those many paths, you haven't noticed a woman that aroused your curiosity about what it would be like getting to know her. Ya know? I'll bet that the look you gave her when wondering about it made her wonder what it would be like to get to know you. Well son, now is the time...

I have to respectfully disagree with this advice. The last thing you want is another woman messing with your head when you're emotionally battered. Take the time to heal and get professional help. You're a good guy .It will work out.

I have to agree with you on this one Kidr. My 25th anniversary to my first and only wife will be this June (I am very lucky!). I decided years ago that if she ever gave me the boot that I wouldn't go looking for a replacement. I am starting to think that women are (for the most part) more trouble than they are worth.

There are times when you kinda feel that you are not in control of anything in your life...and it can be intense. My suggestion, is that you keep riding hat bike. Getting in shape is something that you can control and it will pay great dividends going forward. The bike will get old, but take off overland on long walks.

I'm sure it is hard to see now, but there is better ahead!

Let's not go there, folks.

Another day, and nothing much going on. It's just one day at a time for me right now. The lonelyness is the worse part of it. The house is too quiet and with the rain, there's very little for me to do. I start to think that I'm coming to terms with it, but then something happens and I have a set back. It's only been a few days, so I know I'm not being realisic with my issues, but all I have right now is hope that I can move on sooner rather then later.

Thank you for all your comments and emails. Your support has been very helpful to me and I appreciate them very much.

Thank you to the moderators for allowing this thread to continue. I know that I've added to your workload with this thread with all that you do to keep it clean. It means allot to me to be able to read everyones comments and their words of support. Feeling alone and being lonely is something that I'm not used to, and not handling very well. I know it will pass, but until then, I really look forward to the advice and encuragement that I've received here. I can't imagine a better group of people then here on TBN.

Thank you,
Eddie

Eddie,

You have received a lot of feedback on this thread. Just shows how many friends you have. Many people on TBN will never meet however once you start reading about peoples lives and talking to them via this forum you become their friend.

You have experienced something traumatic in your life and as you know it will take time but it will get better. I have caught a glimpse of you through your post on this site and you are a strong person who WILL conquer this set back in life.

The only thing I could add to what others have said is: Look at what all you have going for you and how blessed you are. Don't dwell on what you had...LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE.

I will keep you in my prayers.

David

Eddie, I think that house is doing you no good right now. Why don't you get out of the house and go over to Lowes, HD, or some other store. Even the library in Tyler or an indoor part of the Tyler zoo. Heck, if you are up for a road trip, maybe even a trip to the Ft. Worth Stock Show. It runs through Feb. 7th and Feb. 1st is Military Day. Get away for awhile is my advice. You'll be able to move your mind away from depressing thoughts and sights. At the stock show or anywhere, take time to talk to anyone who wants to talk without mentioning your problems. Give your body and soul a rest. You deserve it.

Eddie, someone else mentioned it; I will too. Hit the gym. Just something about pumping iron and hitting the treadmill that helps ease a persons state of mind.
