Hugs to You! I need to take a lesson from your book on detachment. I can't seem to do it. Sounds like your H is acting like mine---gotta find some happiness for myself stuff b/c this relationship doesn't make me happy! I don't know about your H, but mine has not had a lot of psychological health for some time. He's never worked on his own issues and so it is easier to blame me for all of his unhappiness.

I guess we both need to keep focusing on the positive things in our life to get through this. So hard to do... Let's makes lists, ok? smile

So here is my "Grateful List":

Beautiful and healthy son
Husband who still loves me and is living in same house
Huge capacity to love
Desire to be in a loving, committed relationship
Family that loves me
Health (mental and physical)
Desire and ability to have more children
2 master's degrees
Fulfilling career with prestige and good salary
Material comforts
Oh, and I've lost 26 lbs b/c of this!
And two big ones---Faith and Hope
