Thank you for your replies. I have consulted a L--one of the best in town. I went in with a list of 17 questions, and I have a pretty good grasp of how it could go. I give my H a lot of credit for not doing anything horrible to me financially. But, unless my H lives like a monk, the current arrangement cannot last for more than a little while...(sounds unlikely, doesn't it?)
Patience is a really, really big challenge for me, but I am trying not to think too far ahead because I get tempted to make a plan and get started.
I love my H, and I want him to come home! However, to be honest, it is a relief to have a little breathing room from his emotional "stuff".
Our daughter is home for fall break from college, and H is coming over for dinner on Thursday, so we can cook together. This will be the only time he sees her all week, and I can tell that he feels really bummed. Any advice?
I am so in the habit of trying to make him feel better--I guess this question is just more of the same. I plan to just be friendly and try to keep things light. Wish me luck! FG
