YR - did you keep your wedding ring on when he was gone? I posted that as a question as a new post today. I'm feeling so very hopeless right now (as far as my marriage is concerned). My ring seems to be a reminder of all that I've lost.

Today I feel that I KNOW that it's over.....but then I get stuck reading old posts and know that everyone else that has reconciled has been there too. Some days I am convinced that he is full blown MLC----but most that post here talk about how their MLC'er has abandoned their kids too. Mine has not done that, in fact he demands equal time. He fills his time with them with activities (as much as possible), and mostly baseball/softball. The kids often comment on how much of a "one-track" mind he has.

I have been a DB failure---too stuck on how wrong this all is and have been unable to stop contacting him. My last forced conversation with him was a month ago. He looked at me with those DEAD eyes (I've read your very good description of them), and said nothing-----just as he has done every time I've attempted to talk to him. Now that I'm "ready" to give up I will admit that part of me wonders if by doing this I will get his attention and he will want to come back to me...........
