H leaves Dec. 9th, how do I say goodbye?

Hi Chel,
I'm feeling for you! My H is about to leave for the second time and most likely will push a divorce through this time. I can relate.

Don't try to read anything into what your H is doing or not doing with his belongings-its really hard to know if its a subconscious 'keeping the connection/door open' thing or not.

I have to say for myself, not having to walk on eggshells and deal with the ups/downs/moodiness is what I most look forward to. I was doing well after he left the first time so I know I will do well again. Time does heal some of the hurt.

I would say what you plan. Let him do the other talking-don't stress. Respond positively if you can, validate and let him go.
There's no way to know where his journey will take him, but it could be back to you-nothing is very permanent in this world. people remarry their original spouses...

But the thing is..you have your own journey and where it leads you is unknown. Focus on what you can count on-yourself. You are so much stronger than when this crisis began- you are already on your way! I'm thinking of you!
