First of all Thank You BH and BND for your thoughts. BH, It has taken me a long time, several months, to realize I am living my life on my own now. I did not adjust well at first. It's true every day it gets a little easier, but I still have a bad day every now and then where it hits me in the face that my h walked off and left me and our son. I use to say to him, for unknown reasons, "dont ever leave me", and he would say "you dont have to worry about that EVER, I couldnt imagine how I could live without you and our son"...well what do ya know! Anyway, is the time frame the only thing you are considering? Isn't there more to consider? Maybe he is a was with a mlc mind??? BH, I know some do not come back and some do. I dont think there can be any statistics that are correct. I have met several people through work that have experienced this and most h/w wanted to come home and try again. Some got remarried and some wouldnt take them back. I dont know what GOD has planned for me. I dont know if my xh will wake up...I can only pray that our family isnt done with forever! I WILL NOT stop praying for my family to be reunited. (I wasnt screaming at you either.lol)
