Hi Hope, I read somewhere that we have to think of our S like a squirrel. Think of how hard it is to try to feed one. How careful we have to make our movements and sometimes just be still for them to approach us.

Let it go, be patient. (Easy for me to say ;)) I know what you mean about feeling depressed that he left you. I struggle with that and today I realized it's bothering me because I haven't forgiven him like I thought I did. I'm working on trying to *truly* forgive him for the pain caused him leaving and all the mean things he's said/done. Could that be the same for you?

You still need to detach emotionally. See how anything he does/doesn't do "kills" you? And you pursued with your question about tonight's plans. You got lulled back to thinking he was his ol' self by the friendly TMs. (You made an "abrupt movement" and scared him.) And you have to be self-sufficient for your own happiness. Sorry if I'm being harsh.

Don't forget about your name, Hope4Luv. Keep the hope. Don't let discouraging thoughts get you down. I haven't been hopeful lately and it does NOT help with GAL and being attractive to H. Concentrate on the positive like you have and fight back thinking on the negative. That's what got me down yesterday.

Concentrate on being the best YOU. Have you read the thread "Quotes found on Divorcebusting (II)"? There are some pearls there.

Gosh, hope I didn't make this too long. Hang in there!
