Kalni, The best thing you can do is continue to DB. You must be really good at it that your H noticed so quickly. You are just going to have to be patient. Don't push him to come back too soon, sounds like that happened before and he ended up leaving again. I know this is really hard on you and your kids. My H has been out of the house for almost 3 months. I see a big inmprovement in our R but it still needs a lot of work. Has your H expressed any interest in MC? It sounds like that might be a good option at this point.
