Hi,

I am new to the forum, and would like to introduce myself.

I am in day 2 of living without my H. We have been married 16 years, and do love one another. He has not been happy for quite some time and decided to move out this past week. The cause of our problems is the same basic cause of most couples' problems - lack of/poor communication. There have been no affairs, but he says he feels like we have just been "good friends" over the past few years. He is right. He is a wonderful man, and I am distraught over his departure. He maintains that he is not ruling out reconciliation, but needs to be away from me for awhile. He still cares for me and has feelings for me.

Yesterday, I purchased Divorce Remedy, and read it cover to cover. I feel better already. H says he still plans on coming over after work each week, and I am ready to employ the "Last Resort" technique. No more crying and begging for him to return. I am going to prove that I am the strong, independent woman that I was when we first met. I am going out to dinner with two other couples tonight. The plans had been made about a month ago, when H and I were still together. Yesterday, I thought of not going, but instead called both of my friends and told them I would be coming alone. I even went out and bought a new outfit to wear!

I look forward to my journey toward a happy marriage, and the support of this forum.
