I really dont think I am doing any better Daisey. I know what you mean about needing reassurance and affection and not getting any because they are too busy feeling sorry for themselves because they miss what they had. I have gotten the I dont love you anymore, or love you like a friend speech. I have been told to me patient, he is working on trying to get back the feelings he had for me and our children. He follows everything up with the line that there are no guarantees this is gonna work. He cant be intimate with me but had no problems with her. I am trying to just be his friend, but this is so hard. It would have been easier to walk away and let him go, but I dont believe I would have ever been able to give anyone else my heart. Hang in there and be strong. concentrate on yourself and your kids and just let him be. the pricipals of DB do work if we are patient and follow them instead of letting our hearts and inpatience lead the way. keep in touch.
