Nothing. But you can make yourself and your child happy without him. He may see that you are a complete person now and be attracted to the new you but there's nothing you can do to bring him back.


I can only ditto this. DH and I were 19 and 20 when we married. It is hard. My C likens it to an A... where we lean on our spouse too much... what we want is an H... where you both stand on your own, but are connected. One thing that helps me (and don't get me wrong, it's a roller coaster with extreme highs and lows), but is to think (and maybe write down) who DH fell in love with. What was different about you then? Yes, we're all older now, but maybe finding something he was attracted to back then and bringing it back. Cuz crying, pleading and whining is definitely not it, right? ;\)

This board is really a great place to write out your frustrations. Think about a journal, too.
