Part III - At the crossroads

[FaithfulH]

LNMW,

Sorry...I lost track of you. I had marked your lost thread but never expected you might start a new one since your old one was far from locking up. At the rate you were posting it would have taken you years.....but I understand and support your reasons for not spending alot of time here.

First off....big awesome congratulations on the progress you and your W have made in your healing. It appears your W is right with you regarding your need to heal and grow before you remarry. I think I have told you before but I will remind you....the minute you believe you are healed and have reached the end of the process....get VERY worried. This is a far longer process than most people realize. I have found that it is only long after you leave a period in your life that you can look back on it with better (never perfect) clarity. You will be surprised to later learn how much pain, hurt, and wounds that you and your W still carry. I can relate to your need for touching (holding hands, hugs, etc) as I am very similar...and like your W, my W is far less into it. I look at it like this...if we were identical in every way that would be strange and somewhat boring. Some here will tell you not to give up so much for your spouse....I will say that I think that is why most of us ARE here. I found that the more I give to move...the more that comes back to me.

Keep up the great work! Best of luck with the new house and all....Sep is right around the corner!
