I don't know about a turn for the worse. How about a turn toward the different? There's a lot of movement and coming to terms with things for a number of us, and I think that's good. I've not given up, but I've finally realized that I can't make my W love me. I can start loving me and she might want to come back, but that's all I can do. Plus, I might be happier without her. THose are the two pieces of advice we all give to newcomers (liek I've been doing this forever), but it's pretty damn scary when it finally hits you.
Either way, life is getting better.

Heimlich, isn't it amazing how far we've come, when I first came here, I was bitter, angry, confused, and wanted to fight everyone on this board, I think I ticked off so many people it wasn't funny, but somehow they stuck around, and once I stopped attacking everyone for the advice they gave me, I realized that they were right. Now I find myself, giving that same advice to people. My, how things have changed.
It must be the whole 6 phases of D, thing, I read a while back, even though I am still going through it, and the all the phases come back again and again, I have learned what they are, and I deal with them differently. Man, I'll say it again, we have come a long way. Take care.
Sorry, dont think I meant for the "worse", yes just different, but I can tell all the old timers here are doing better regardless of what their S is doing / not doing, which is the objective.
