Thanks slh: A (my H) and I were married 5 years. We have been apart a long 2-1/2 years (he left)...we rarely argued. I can count on one hand how many times we disagreed. I hate thinking about the day he left.
I never chased him. I cried a lot...I was depressed, but I didn't want to ease his guilty conscience by acting crazy. I think my friends (our friends) told him that I was distraught It took me awhile to figure out not to be friends with them anymore...
Soooo, A didn't talk to me until last March. I was shocked. So, like the slowest turtle in the world, things are changing. I want to pull my hair out sometimes.
As far as telling my friends about not dating, they don't go there anymore. Sometimes, they throw it out because they think they are being helpful. I tell them, 'hey, you're not helping'.
Living situation: I bought myself a little cape house...it's cute, and he bought himself a condo. We both renovated. His place is really very handsome...'cept no furniture yet.
I was hoping for so much more by now...I love him very much, and I won't give up hope. I hope that you don't give up either. I'm just tired.
