Many thanks to all who have posted here for your inspiring words. Today is a down day for me, at least for now. It's just the pain of day to day limboland, hoping for a chance at a better marriage but a spouse who still won't talk to me. I'm pretty good at giving her space, but it's that space of silence that can be so painful at times.

Baseball Annie, you are so wonderful to stay on these boards! Thank you.

Lissie, your post brought tears to my eyes. I will refer back to it often in times of great hurt. Thanks for what you said. It helps.
