I don't know what to advice (my own situation is so bad). But I feel that you are lucky in the sense that your wife is TALKING to you, giving you reassuring comments. My H is not. Maybe men are less wordy. He hates talking.

My H's actions are sometime encouraging. He is less withdrawn. But things he says kills me... kicks me right back to the starting point.

ok. It's only been 2 weeks since I moved back. It's a short ime. But I already feel these 'hills' every other day. Robbie is right. It's is indeed an endurance race. My friends/family thinks I will never get there without his sincere involvement.

Get on with our lives.. as Michelle says. I am seriously considering going to a dating agency. Even if I meet creepy people, it will help me to heal and become stronger, no matter what the outcome is. Perhaps I am scared of jumping off a boat into the deep blue sea. Perhaps I need a boat to jump to .... I feel like a bitch making these comments. But I do feel incrediby helpless.

We don't have any children. Neither do we have any finanicial ties. We are totally independent in that respect. Divorce for us can be done in 1/2 a day. Very easy indeed. Perhaps I should give him credit for staying with me even though it is just the GUILT, & even without kids .......
