    As he sings...I would do anything for love...but I won't do THAT. (Just changed the meaning a bit) I don't believe going back is love. Ot would be a shell of a life. How could you or your spouse be happy with half of a person? Sometimes love is not always a peaceable or a non hurtful path. Giving someone true love can be one of the most painful thigs to give at times.

    That may mean non-conforming. Teaching the other that giving into lies is NOT love. Always stand for what you believe. As I have been told..."Own it".

    My thoughts exactly!

    Would there be a limit to what you would do to make your mate happier ?

    Yeah, eliminate my happiness. I told my husband before we got married, I am my own person, as he is his. I'm not his mother or authority figure - come home whenever you want, just don't wait up for me! He looked at me puzzled.....he was such a good JW boy....lol

    Would you swallow all you know and go back to meetings just to try to make it work ?

    LOL - Swallow .......OK - back to the question. Would I go back to meetings to make him happy? Hell no! I told him, I wasn't going back and if he had a problem, the door was that way. I never hid my EX -JW side from him. I flat out let him know it - he no longer goes either.

    Sometimes I feel sorry for my husband, he still has no idea or clue how to handle me - I keep him on his toes. Poor guy.

    I really don't know. I can't imagine my life without my wife. She's the only reason I go so I guess I've already answered the question. How long can I continue going before the damage begins? Fortunately, apathy towards the JWs has started which I'm sure is my defense mechanism.
