I really appreciate the support and words of wisdom. The feelings of hopelessness come and go. We have seen and spoken to each other a few times in the last two days due to a car refinance deal and my Dad having surgery today. Things have been upbeat for the both of us despite everything. I KNOW he has been reading DB now. He is totally applying those principles as I am trying to do. I did falter yesterday though when I told him what mail he has including an update from the insurance company regarding our MC. I could kick myself, but I asked if he had scheduled another MC appointment yet. SOOOOOO NOT DB!!!! He said yes, he in going in to talk to the MC by himself and then will schedule another and will probably bring me back in then. So far, I have only been to this MC at the first session.

Here is a question I haven't seen addressed: What do you do if both parties are applying DB techniques? Does anyone has experience with this? He doesn't even need to do these things as I had already realized and told him that this marriage is the most important thing in the world to me. I miss him terribly, but am working on GAL.
