My counselor told me that when (if) my H's PA ends and he stops contacting her I should expect a grieving period from him. How am I supposed to behave while he's going through this? And I'm not sure how long he will grieve.

I wonder if I act too sympathetic Ill seem manipulative, mostly because I'm not sure if I can HONESTLY be sympathetic! If I'm not honest about it then I think it is manipulative.

I don't want to see my H hurting, that will hurt me, but I'm not very confident that I can be sympathetic to WHY hes hurting. Or even if he will want sympathy from me, couldnt that make him resentful?

I guess I gave the wrong finger to the wrong man...
