Its hard to just let him talk but try as much as you can to let him say what he feels or not! Try not to interupt let a few gaps in the conversation fall naturally, definitely validate, if you understand say so, dont tell him what you want him to hear, he isnt going to hear any of it at the moment. If it all gets too much pop to the bathroom, or make a cuppa break things down a bit. If he says he wants some space that is ok, but let him know that to have proper space you have to have some agreed time of NC, hes not going to find out what life is like without you if he talks to you every day. But be warned this may end up with him staying away longer, there is always the fact he might get used to the freedom, what ever you do dont panic, keep as calm as you can.. Ten months ago I was in a right state when H left but honestly I can say that although its hard work now it has brought some good and definitely some clarity to our relationship.

What things have you done for you? Have you managed to read DR yet? Anyway forgot to say welcome earlier, its a scary time your in right now but this is a great place to be with friends.
