Hi TxMom, are you ready for the birthday dinner...look great -- act like you are taking out a best friend instead of H. I know it is easier said than done (I can attest to that!), but we have to try. The problem you might experience is that sometimes the length of time we spend with them is when we start having our emotional breakdowns. Keep a plan. Bring your cell phone, if you start to weaken have a "friend in reserve" that can talk you down in the ladies room. Or just excuse yourself and say a prayer to thank God for working on your H while you work on yourself. As time goes on I realize that I have to keep turning this over to God, I have no control and thank Him for being in the midst of my marriage when I need it most. You need a goal for that night. When your H leaves you that night H should see you as happy, confident, and asking himself -- why did I leave her??? We are all pulling for you here. take care.
