I am really sorry that you and your husband are having trouble. I am with Noura, only you know what is best for you and your family. Good luck. I hope everything turns out for the best.

I agree with Doodle, your last post was very eloquent.

I can't say what is going to happen, because I don't know at this point. I believe that everything happens for a reason, tho somtimes that reason is not so obvious. Maybe it was never meant to have been, and this relationship was sent to me to open my eyes about myself, and about others. Before I met my husband, I was clueless about the ME and it's people. I was one of those people that knew it existed, but to point it out on a map, no. My trail of thought followed popular belief about the ME, everything there was crude and old, the people less than murderous heathens. I was such a fool.

Because of this journey, I have seen the beauty of Jordan, and of it's people. I have stood in Petra, awed at it's timelessness and beauty. I have stood on the streets of an ancient city that has seen so much progress and growth, yet retain it's integrity. I have seen the love and closeness that the families there have for each other. I have learned that to be Muslim, does not mean that you are a bad person, or that you hate America and all it stands for. I have made friends I may never have met in this life. And I have loved a man again, with all my heart and unconditionally. I had thought never to feel that emotion again, my heart was frozen and with him it thawed again. Without him, I may never have had any of this, so I do not regret one moment.

I still love my husband. I am still in love with my husband. I don't know if that will ever change, but sometimes, you get off track. I don't know if it can be repaired, or if either of us will even want to try.

For those of you still going thru this journey, I wish speed upon the consulates. Time and distance are not a friend in the visa journey. May all of you be blessed with the richness that each of us deserve, love, and patience.

May God Bless your lives, and smile Gently upon you.

Your VJ Friend, Tammy

I don't know you or anything about your story. I had to just say your words here touched me deeply. I wish you the best of luck in whatever your future holds.

Hey Tammy! I am so sad to know that things have gone "off track" with you, but I am glad that you have learned so many things. I hope you continue to experience life, love, friendship, and beauty. I hope your knowledge grows and grows with each new day. And, I wish you an abundance of happiness. I think you are a wise and optimistic woman.

You never know where God's next blessing will be in your life or what you will learn next.

Tammy--I'm so sorry to hear this! The other night while we were chatting I didn't really catch on that this is what you were thinking...I know this process is long and hard on everyone involved. Only you know what's best for you, but if you need to chat again you have my email and know where to find me! I'll be praying for you. -hug-
