my H has been "gone" almost a year now. It sucks but I manage with a little help from my friends & family (here and RL).
The six weeks scare me cause he SAID he will decide what he wants. He SAID he will have an answer for me. Him being so far away, makes it a bit harder because it will feel as if I will really have no "influence" on him. Which of course I wouldn't have even if he was here, but you know how the brain works. I see a DEADLINE flashing!
It amazed me as well after he left and I calmed down how everything went back to "normal". Everything but my insides. There have been times when I want to scream to my kids, my family , my friends "you are all sleeping calmly in your beds and I am fighting still for my life". It doesn't work this way. They know but nobody can change that but me and him.
Yes I want to see the jewelry, tried in the past too...
