Tia, Thanks for the suggestions. I have looked at the KLA forum before and I feel like I didnt get a whole lot of info from them that was new to me. Should I buy the tapes? Or are they more for people that are piecing?
I find that he comes back when he thinks I have really moved on too far with out him. I will continue to distance myself from him and give him space & time.
Each time he left was a little bit different: -1st time: he left because he was in his replay stage and seeking out a stripper and everything that would make him feel good. -2nd time: he left because he seemed to be in a deep state of depression and tension built up as I was walking on eggshells and he got mad at me for telling him I didn't really approve of some of the people he was hanging out with & how quilty he would look when he got home from whatever they were doing. 3rd time: he left because I got angry one night and told him that I didnt think it was healthy for us to try and reconcile when he is drinking and going to the bars as much as he is. He said he would rather have that lifestyle and left again.
He is definitely the one pursuing me now again, and he is being rather nice (offering small helping hands often). I will keep at it, and just have faith and hope. Thanks, TIPPER
