I knew I didn't have to bring up that OW thang because that is the first thing on our minds when they get the slightest far-away look in their eyes. BTDT, ya know?
OK... well, we alluded to the pressure he's been under before any of this happened and then you found your pom poms. It really hasn't been long enough (like... days?) to determine that they didn't help, especially in light of the added pressure.
He can't pressure himself to get to some kind of "feeling" to take over him. Is there any way you could find time in your incredibly busy schedules to get him to that movie, Fireproof, that just came out this weekend? I heard about it on some daytime talk show, but there is a website out there-- I think SMW's thread in newcomers has a link to it-- that sounds like something that would reinforce the feelings he's having that "he'd regret leaving you". The actual book out there is one you can incorporate into your lives-- a 40 day "Dare". One thing to do each day. I haven't seen it yet. We're gonna go this week when I get time to schedule it for him (haha).
Hang in there little husband-slayer! Piecing is HARD!!!! If anyone out there who's been at it longer can cheer us up with the news that one day it just gets easy and natural I sure hope they come back and announce it!
