Wow - I can't imagine my H offering to talk - especially about R. Good for you to resist the temptation to cry on his shoulder. No guilt trips, no whining, no pity - you only want to present him with an image of you as strong, confident, desirable.

Your friends and family who suggest you should walk away just don't want to see you hurting. My belief is that D would hurt as much or more than standing - at least this early in the crisis. Anyone I talked to about my sitch I let know up front that my goal is to get through this crisis, give H space he needs, and heal M - I've been lucky b/c everyone has been very supportive. I also explain what I've learned about DB and that I have hope b/c I have seen that M do recover from this.
