Thanks, kikifree, and thank you, Flicka, for your advice. I really appreciate it!
I have made my decision, and here's part of my post from this evening.
So here's what I've decided:
As I discussed with my sister, I want to be absolutely certain that I have done everything I possibly could to save my M. So although I said in my very first post that I didn't want to do this, I am going to ask for a continuance. That will give H approx. 8 weeks to SHOW me he wants this M, and I can handle 8 weeks much better than having to wait another 4 - 6 months if I were to completely stop the D and refile again. I told H that if 4, 5, 6 weeks go by, and still nothing, there will be no more chances. That will be it. (Uh oh, sounding like my mother there! )
H hugged me several times and gave me a little kiss before he left for work. He said I won't regret this and that he is going to start moving his things back in this week. We will see.
I believe I'm doing the right thing. Not just for my family, but for me as well. Thanks again!
