[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently Dave has posted that Rachel ended it. Rachel...guru of how to make marriage work who tells you how much she makes-out with her husband and who has made possibly millions giving marriage advice with Dave...has ended the marriage. Meanwhile apparently Texas is a Covid alternative universe because Dave had a party with his neighbors in his house sans masks and social distancing and the boys are at sleep away camp. [/quote]

My neighbors in Fairfax have sent both of their kids to sleepaway camps in PA and WV. I'll stay home in my Nova bubble. Annnnyyyywaaaayyyy...

I read Dave's post this morning. Ouch. I hope that bus hit felt good, Rach. Also who renews their vows every five years? "Married a 4th time" is crap.

[i]I put this picture up on our anniversary in May, then took it down 2 days later. It was our 16th, a year from this shot renewing our vows, married a 4th time after ceremonies every 5 years, one of the best days ever.

Two days later Rae told me she didn’t want to be married any more. That I could only become the man and she the woman we were each truly meant to be...apart. So the post with memories we’d make left me embarrassed for a vision of a future that wasn’t shared.

I’ll always love her, cheer for her...and now pray every single day that she’s right. Becoming something even greater, even if it’s so sad.

After she told me, it was clear this was a decision that was made, that the 1,000 little things that led here left continuing to fight for marriage a thing we didn’t both want. And I did what I’d done. I broke the more than a year run of not grabbing a bottle when things got hard, and I drank to cope.

Two sad days of numbing pain in a dark room alone. Making me feel even worse. Not who I want to be. All the work and pride, out for not wanting to deal with hard things.

On the 3rd day, I had to have one of those tough times in a mirror, asking who I wanted to be. How I wanted to process hard things. Do I want to make them harder or grow?

I turned to God, again, every day, all day. I turned to running — 250 miles in 8 weeks. To therapy, writing, focusing on my kids, friends, sobriety & health.

In my running, I’ve been listening to sermons. Recently a message from @stevenfurtick where he was talking about storms. “It’s not the first storm that gets people...it’s the secondary storm that people create that takes them down.” The way we react to a storm we didn’t see coming that leads to our demise.

You are all working through a storm. You likely didn’t choose it, but your decision to how you’ll handle it determines how you’ll weather it.

There’s a parable in the Bible about two houses...one built on sand, the other on rock. They face the SAME storm and the first is destroyed while the other stands strong.

Your foundation determines your outcome.

Like me, it may be faith, kids, a routine & health since that mirror moment.

You choose. Choose wisely. ❤️[/i][/quote]
