Thank you all for your continued support. The more time that passes, the more I begin to see things a little more clearly. Spending more time with H has been a good thing - I can now see myself going home eventually, although I think it will still be a little while before I am 100% comfortable with making that step. My biggest drawbacks right now are: 1) I'm scared that we will get stuck in our old rut once I return home; 2) I worry about the lack of old feelings (passion, etc.) on my part (will it get better or won't it?); and 3) Will I miss my new routine, new friends, and new "way of life" once I go back home?

Our D pretrial hearing has been set for 8/4/08, just 4 days before our 10-year anniversary. We have every intention of walking in and asking for a temporary stay of the proceedings in order to attend MC. How many of you have attended MC? What exactly goes on in a session? And what has been your experience with the costs (??)? Are there particular things we should be looking for in a counselor? Any info would be appreciated!
