Braveheart,
Your post is very accurate.
I had wanted to write something similar on my own thread, but your words are even better.
It is definately NOT a Hollywood ending.
It is so hard at times but I do think it comes from expectations.
The LBS does expect the WAS to show his undieing love and tell her everything she wants to hear.
I think it comes in spurts.
And I think it happens once the MLC'er really does begin to feel safe again, not just at home but also in their own skin.


There can be no testimony without a test.
I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
