Ahh.. the famous "pull back". Nell, hang in there... People on these boards keep reminding me to not believe any of what I hear and less than half of what H does. When he talks about being fine with you seeing someone else (as my H keeps saying) it is likely that would not be the case if that were to actually happen. WAS apparently don't usually even know what they want, and they just happen to use the "script of the day" that justifies whatever current thoughts or feelings or actions are going on for them. stay true to what you need to do for you to get stronger and more confident. i am working very hard on not letting everything hinge on H's actions, responses etc. take care, Rocked
