1) Read Read Read out here and other books and material - learn from our mistakes. It's seems there are a lot of set patterns these WAS's do/say and to avoid some of the emotional rollercoaster rides learn from those of us that have been there...
2) Patience Patience Patience - had someone told me it would be 16 MOS BEFORE I heard ILY from my H I would have flipped - so important to GAL and contiue focusing on you.
3) Your spouse can only fix themselves (believe me I thought I was the best problem solver too) we CANNOT force them a long any faster. If you rush one stage you will find yourself many steps backwards...
4) Sometimes things happen for a reason and it's out of our hands - let the higher powers take control - you will find peace that much sooner.
5) Take from these boards what works for YOU and YOUR sitch - everyone is different and every spouse is different...
6) Only you know what you can handle - your direction will come
