Sorry don't know how to use the quote function yet.
If you click "Reply" at the bottom of a post, it will direct you to a box where you can begin typing a reply. At the top of this box, you will see many tool options, such as Bolding, Italicizing, Underlining, etc. You will also see a box with quotation marks in it (looks like: ["] -- that is the box you click on to make a quote box around a person's post. You first highlight the section of the post you want to quote, then go up and click on the ["] box, and voila! You've created a quote for which you can respond to!
Was that easy to follow or utterly confusing?

I dont need 'someone'....I need my husband.
This will be difficult, but you don't need anyone but YOURSELF -- and to have a good R with YOURSELF. Be content and happy with who you are and just being with you FIRST. When you get there, you will find that you don't NEED anyone else (including your H). You NEED to get to the point where you only WANT your H, but you will be okay (better than okay -- great!) without him. You must have a strong, independent, and healthy R with YOU before you can have a strong and healthy R with HIM.
I'm an only child raised by a single mom, and growing up I can remember having A LOT of time to myself -- and I actually relished much of that time as a teenager. I worked in the woods during the summer fighting fire, and after work I would spend much of my evening reading, batting rocks or pine cones with a stick, walking around woods, etc, and just enjoying time with ME -- and I really enjoyed that time to myself! After my W left me in November, I couldn't get back to that person. It had been ten years + since I'd been that person I was when I was fighting fire. I NEEDED my W! However, 10 months later I'm finally getting used to just being with myself again, and getting to know me and enjoy my own company again. I'm still not there, but I'm getting there, and this is what is necessary for all of us. You will get there too, if you resolve to do so and stick with it.

I am new here and feel like I know nothing. I dont feel that I am in any position to give advice yet....but I am reading peoples threads. Guess perhaps letting them know I was there might be a good idea
Yes! Excellent idea! You don't have to know a lot or give advice on other threads. Just give support for people that seem to need it. It is especially easy to do so with people who are about as new to this as you are because you are both in the same place, more or less. Also, when you read a thread that you can relate to and identify with, you will find you have more to say to that person than others. Read Divorce Remedy -- it will make you feel much better, more empowered, and more knowledgeable for others who are here.
Wow! I think I made it through here without any 2x4s! Sorry -- I felt that I was maybe being too hard on you early on. I think what I had to say was necessary, but didn't want you to get discouraged either. Glad you're still around, and hope you continue growing on this journey and on this board!
Oh, and Forrest:

And where did this Gone Dancin come from he is definately not a DAM. He may just be the "Man we ALL dream of"???
I'm going to go ahead with the safe play and guess that this was sarcastic (esp since you're a dude). And what do you mean where did I come from? Don't you know how babies are born?
