I like you - you make a lot of sense.

From a lot of what my W says she is indicating that she needs time to heal away from R. W absolutely adamant it is over - pretty sure she can't be 100% sure ???

My W was told every day of our relationship that i loved her and how beautifull/sexy she was (confident she wont get that with anyone else) She defineately KNOWS how much i love her.

DB reckons no "i love you's"

I wasn't near as controlling as you describe your H but i feel any degree of control is too much.

Who's of the author of the book "controlling people"

I'm not doing that good at the moment - constant steady anxiety and just absolute feeling of despair and loss. Can't enjoy anything and get teary eyed even mid conversation with friends. Can't get her out of my head - got so bad i could literally tell her what mood she was in after not seeing her all day - absloutely bloody connected to the woman. Trying to sort myself out.

She is under the impression that I'm handling it well.

Neil - now i'm conscious of it - my behaviour has already changed but i reckon I'll take the class anyway.

I've not spoken to her for 5 days now which is the longest we've done in 11 years.

Must admit I'm feeling the situation is pretty hopeless.
