Thanks Citygirl. That is a very helpful description of the approach I need to take... and I think you are exactly right. Earlier in the week I was living the mantra "I am a FABULOUS and ATTRACTIVE woman!" I need to get back to that, believe it and live it. That is what I am going to do.

Interestingly, as I am starting to make this shift today H has been following me around the house today, engaging me in chit chat etc. I am just being cheerful, busy and treating him like a room mate.

I can do this!
