PLEASE help


Since Shirl327 and I have been separated I have been celibate and true to the marriage vows (except for the screw-up when I left).And since I have a "NO Contact" order against me I have been asking for help to try and get the message back to her that I would very much like to have a sit down and talk (even with a mediator or that)and try to work things out.I really and truly do love her and don't want our marriage to end.I have been searching for work and have a few maybes right now but am still searching.And even though I know that alot of people (even some in here) feel and believe that I don't deserve another chance.Please....if anyone can offer some good advice...let me know...she means the world to me even though Ihave been a real jack-ass in the past on a few occassions.This is not a joke....belive me....to me marriage is the ultimate blessing in a person's life...and though I have messed up in it I still want to try to keep this one alive and get it back to the way it should have always been.

I am truly very sorry for the grief and pain I've caused and only want to be given a chance to prove to her that WE are worth the chance to make it right again.Please don't let LOVE die in this case.

Thank you all for your support and comments.They do help me at times.

A good time to realize what was going on was way before the split. Every relationship has clues when things are amiss.

I suggest you stop airing your dirty laundry in public. What happened between you and shirl should stay private.

I thank you all for your comments and for being open with me ...I have indeed just seen and spoke with a clergyman and am in process of getting some help.

And I am truly sorry,I didn't really think hard enough to realize that indeed I would have been asking someone to stick their neck out...for this I do apologize...sincerely....I wouldn't want to cause trouble for or with anyone of her friends, my friends, and our friends.

And I am not trying to air dirty laundry....I was merely asking for open and honest advice....I am sorry my words come across that way.

I apologize again for that to one and all.

Even though I doubt if this blog could be legally construed as breaching your "no contact" order, the court may take a dim view of it.

On the other hand, your conciliatory plea would have no import with the court. I suspect your spouse does not appreciate it either.

The court tends to view the period immediately following separation as the "honeymoon period." It is not unusual for one party to seek atonement with their spouse; again, the courts tend to reserve any favourable impression.

Sorry to be so blunt, but I worked in divorce court, and it is the crudest, most inhospitable arena of litigation that I have been privy to.
