The root of my problem w/ my H is his aloofness and emotional walls. He withdraws rather than interacts. He would hurt me w/ his detachment and then I'd get crabby and try to figure out what was up. He would w/draw more and we'd have these little vicious cycles of negative emotions. Now we're here. It's a horrible, rotten place to be. Don't keep those walls up. GOOD for YOU that you have found a way to let them down, because that is one of the most difficult things for women to deal with...an emotionally w/drawn person.

Keep up the GREAT work Bill. I am so proud of you. I am amazed at the hard work you are putting in to bring your wife back. That makes you so special, and that is why so many of us here, are in your corner.


C Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me. I vow to live fully in each moment and to look at all beings with eyes of compassion.
