Puppy, that is really good! I so want to say this to my DH - especially this part.
From now on I'm moving in this direction, if you want to come along, go ahead, I won't control you and tell you that can or can't come but I can't wait for you anymore and you already know that if you're with the OM, you aren't with me, I'm not settling for anything less than that.
Really don't think it will do any good right now, I have to do some data gathering first.
AmyBel, remember that she will be going back and forth, her emotions are changing rapidly and from day to day you'll see the roller coaster ride. Try journaling it, it really helped me in the past. When you chart the emotions and actions, it starts to form patterns and you are more calm and able to detach.
