advice what can I do now she always complains that I let people just run over me yet when I tell her how I think and feel making my own stand she just gets angry Oh yes, it is clear your wife wants control she seeks the power in this relationship that has turned sour all influences must begin and end with her in control I am exhausted I need an escape I try to tell her it is now over I do not love you but can we be friends yet she does not hear she must hold on then try doing this since all that you do to make this divorce as smooth as you can is only making things worse with fighting then make a clean break stop all the talking oh but she will not allow that for she keeps harassing me calling me at work standing at my door screaming her lungs out making lots of threats I say it again communicating with her does not work she has made this clear the only resolve left to you is this stop letting her win be silent and escape be well my friend ... I wish you peace Janette |

I have a friend that acts very much the same and I understand how you feel. I am glad to see that you have the courage to let her go where as I just can not bring myself to cut the lifeline that runs between me and my best friend. Perhaps sometimes we try to build relationships with people who are just too different from us, I don't know but it is always hard. *~Hugs~* ~*Summer*~ |

IntoTheFlames and Catalinamoon - I wrote this for a dear friend whom I wish to help for it seems our conversations run this way more often than not. Yet he cannot seem to escape this torturous relationship that has nothing left in it except for misery. Ending a marriage is always painful but enough is enough. I hope it all ends soon, for both their sakes, so they can leave the ugliness behind and somehow someday find new joys. |

I have found that people usually levitate towards the friends that share the same opinion as them...so if they are leaning towards a divorce they go to friends that agree with them and so on...James |

JamesMichael - Your point is well taken by me. But please know I have also suggested counseling and possible reconciliation which they attempted and failed. As I stated before, ending a marriage is always painful but once the relationship deteriorates to one of cruelty, I think, enough is enough for the LOVE has completely vanished. Thank you for responding James. |

Well-spoken advice and a well worded poem. I am sure that your advice will be heard, and taken, in time. Thank you. Peace is the only battle worth waging. |
