Hi Ingrid,

I've been away for awhile, so I was sad to read that your h is back to thinking about moving out. Despite your backslide for a couple of days, it sounds like you're back on track DBing. Starting a new GAL activity like kayaking is a great idea to keep your mind off of the sitch as much as possible.

Whenever you're unsure about doing something R-related, like sending that email or bringing up a difficult subject, make yourself wait 24 or 48 hours. Come here, post about it, vent away, but don't do it until you've had some time to let your feeling settle. I know how hard it is to do that, but I've been doing a better job of it over the last few months. If I can do it, anyone can!
