Donna,

I don't know what the others will say, but that all sounds good to me. Michele has a good paper on the Forums page called Time Together that talks about people thinking that the love dies, but really it just got buried under a lot of other stuff. You should read it, or if you've already read it, read it again.

If you move to a friendship mode there is the opportunity for you to take some time and date your H. He could find the love again. It will be a slow process, of course. You two are deeply entwined. But I don't think your whole family should now sleep in the basement!
