Hey A&K, I have not read your whole situation. How long has your H been gone? Was he having an A?

Sounds like my sitch is similar to yours in that H asks to do things, etc., but it is only with our son, never just the two of us. He's been gone almost 16 months. He says he doesn't have the "right" feelings for me. As far as I can tell, he is not seriously involved with another woman, but I know he's had at least one EA in the past, possibly two. We both keep hinting that we have to end this marriage, but we don't get very far with those conversations, and meanwhile, we keep hanging out and doing things together, yet we don't seem to get any closer emotionally although we're great friends, and still have a very strong bond due to our 21 year history together and our son, and it really screws with my head, and his head too.

Where is your head with regards to your H?

I read RSF's posts and think that is probably the only way my H would change his mind about his feelings for me, although I don't think he'd ever admit anyway, He'd just let me go.
