Let me be the first here to congratulate you
on you steady successes -- welcome to Piecing.

I'm glad to catch up with your sitch (and thanks
for stopping by to check on me, and for your nice
words).

As you know, my H is not finished with his MLC,
and we are separated AGAIN -- but while he was
gone all last year there was steady progress for
us, too -- similar to what you've got going on.

(My H moved out again because the O-chick wagged
her you-know-what at him when she found out we were
getting back together again -- H couldn't resist
"one last taste" as he told me. The creep.)

But I've been able to detach from him pretty well
since he moved out April 1 -- and he's already
coming around again.

I have lots of hope -- no matter what happens.

It's hard to say how long this will take --
but it seems to me your H is showing willingness
more and more. The fact that he's in C makes a big
difference.

I don't have tons of advice -- just keep steady.
Keep doing wonderful things for yourself: luxe little
gifts (that you deserve), new CDs, fragrance spritzers,
snazzy skirts and lingerie -- to keep up PMA and
keep romance alive.

Act as if you don't need him -- he's stricly icing.

Compliment and cheerlead -- you'll both feel better.

It may not yet be YOUR TURN to talk -- be patient.

R talk could boomerang to make you worry -- don't worry.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

You've done an ACE job -- kudos for good good work,
grrrlll!!!

I'll check in again soon.

Love your attitude,

Bridget
