HI..been away for awhile...like most have said..let him go..but do keep that backdoor open..my h said almost the same things..he needed to find himself..it is a great relief not to be on those eggshells..believe me. Keep yourself happy, it will reflect on the kids...stay positive that things can change..but it is almost a year for me and h and I are just becoming more comfortable with each other..no r talks, but we have had a year apart to reflect and discover a whole new us...I am still hoping for the outcome that most of us here want..but who knows..I do know that this time apart has been good for us to sort through the hurt junk that partly got us here...and I must say it is great...don't take this as me saying I am so happy to be s, ot that I want this to go on forever, or that this is the way all s couples are going to be...but for me it has been an awakening to many things in my life that I need to change, and I feel I have become a better person becasue of it.

Stay strong...

Sue
