Thank you all so much for your support. Each and every one of you have offered something that I know will be helpful. I checked out the Retrouvaille program's website...there's one here in our town in February. I'll talk to H about going. The thing about what's reflected in your eyes is pretty profound. I know what he saw in her eyes...I will not let him see fear and doubt in mine.

Cat...you're so right. I'm blessed that I got this chance, and I can not go through each day wondering if this is the day he'll decide to go back to her. I'll concentrate on making myself and this marriage so wonderful that he won't want to.

One of my problems is that I think I expect too much too quickly. I know that it has to be small steps, and that's it's normal for him to pull back after we make progress. I just have to let him do that without attaching too much meaning to it.

I will be spending more time here reading other's posts and offering what I can. I think I've learned more than I realize, and if that can help anyone in this situation I will be thrilled.

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year's Eve and day...bess you all and I look forward to getting to know you all!
