The Slow Fade song/video given above is so true. It's saying that it's a slow and gradual process; falling into sin. So much so, that most don't even notice it until it's too late to stop it, and things get really bad. It's a "Slow fade," as people begin to lose their sense of right and wrong. I went to YouTube and searched this song, and found that this was in the movie Fireproof. My hubby and I had watched Fireproof (at the recommendation of one of my friends...w/out his knowledge of what it was about) and he actually sat through it with me, but he had already decided that he was done with our marriage. He showed no real emotions, or maybe he started to, but that was likely when he went to the kitchen for a drink. In the comments on the What Hurts the Most video, someone asked, "Has anyone seen this movie & still wanted a divorce or still hated their spouse?" Yes, my husband, apparently. We watched this a couple of months before he actually moved out. After my search today, I emailed links to him, the Slow Fade one above, and three others. I pray that maybe he will listen and watch the videos, but that his heart has softened since then.

I hope these links work. What Hurts the Most, Love is not a fight and While I'm waiting
I don't know if I should have sent them or not, or if it will just push him further away, but I'm hoping that God has been able to get through to him at least a little, and that he will hear the messages. He was so adamant that we were over, but he didn't move out immediately, and once he did, he still hasn't filed. He's been gone since 9/13. I met w/an Atty, but haven't retained yet. I don't want a divorce, but need to protect myself, but I don't want to take the action to seal the fate of divorce. Also, if I file, then I'm not really standing in the gap for my marriage. I pray that the Lord will speak loud and clear to me, and tell me what to do and what not to do. I pray that he is working on me and my husband, and that in His time, our marriage will be restored. Please Heavenly Father, give me the strength to wait for your timing.
Amen
