I'm sorry that you find yourself here but I am pleased to 'meet' you. I spotted some similarities in our sitchs and we are about the same age (27??). This is going to be a difficult process and it will probably take longer than you could have imagined but I think you are getting some really good advice and it is great that you have a DB coach and that you have discovered DBing early on. I discovered it 6 months down the separation line and I have to say DBing has helped me sooooooo much.
Isn't it horrible when you were the smart, powerful woman and now you are walking on eggshells. It is quite soul-destroying to be walking on eggshells constantly but I know the feeling well. One of the key things about DBing is doing more of what works. What was it about you that first attracted your h. When he came back and you didn't go to work etc that put him off. One of the main messages here is to GAL, or get a life for you. This will help you to keep going through this process and will also help you build confidence. You are doing such a good job of this already and are setting really good goals.
