OK, so you aren't at the end of the road yet. Look at the steps he has made. Cuddles, kisses, moving back in. Remember these are huge steps he's made and remind yourself when you need ODP to kick in. (Operation Don't Panic). You still have ILY and worshipping you to look foward to so those are your new goals! lol Patience, patience, patience...

I felt the same way when I found all those early emails H wrote full of love and desire - heck, I haven't felt that from him in seven years! So I remember them and put them on my list of big goals.

I love the LOOK and RETREAT tactics. Remember to pet and snuggle the inner terrier so that you can calm yourself down while waiting for H to get it. You're doing great. When we get out of their faces, they can only hear from themselves what they are doing wrong and it has a bigger effect. Otherwise, they are just reacting off of us instead of listening. HE needs 24/48 hrs to think about it!

Hey I'll keep my alt open if you want to chat.
