Thanks for your post, Hopeful. Your words are what I have been fearing a lot lately - that when I finally have that great epiphany, H will decide it's no longer worth it. I know he's reaching a point now where he feels like giving up, but to his credit he has decided to stick in long enough to give MC a try. Beyond that, I really don't know. Right now there is a lot of hesitation on my part because I don't know if things really can change between us. I'm hoping that MC will help us sort those feelings out and help us find ways to get past those feelings of hesitation. Logically, I am able to step back from the sitch and see why I am doing the things that I am doing - it's just at this point, I am too scared to do anything other than what I am doing. The thing is, the longer we're apart, the more comfortable we get being "just best friends" - we're both getting lives and in many ways moving on. A part of me is okay with that, but another part fears it.

I have been looking into Retrouaville (sp.?) and have been seriously thinking about going. I've contacted the local group a couple of times for info but have not received a response yet which is kind of disheartening. I really don't know much about what it is or if I'd even be able to afford it, but I'm hoping that someone gets back to me eventually.

In the meantime, thanks for your wish for luck. I need it...
