SR - I am a newbie who's been lurking on the sidelines, but I've followed your thread with great interest as I also did Larry's program and am trying to continue to understand how to live like an EC.
My story is very similar, but my WH has moved out, 2 months ago, to pursue his affair partner. Sadly, all too familiar. He's a chaos kid and we had the same thing happen, he was a workaholic for years and then I got totally wrapped up in the kids.
Anyway, he's in the mode of I still love you and want to always be your friend (no passion that was given to the OP) and will continue to take care of you and the kids.
My struggle is how to interact with him. I've tried to be warm, but distant. I share very little with him personally, just try to stick with talking about the kids.
I haven't been able to find anyone to connect with personally that's done Larry's program so I'm excited to see how things go for you. Larry's program brought me peace and sanity, although my husband still left. I accept what Larry says, it's not too late if you are sure about what you want and divorce has no meaning - it's just an event,so what. He's had countless people turn it around.
Obviously my prayer was for the affair to end and him to wake up. Larry has helped me learn that I can truly only change myself and through my contact with Larry I've gotten into self-improvement books. I've found them very helpful.
OK, I guess now that I've jumped in, should I post my story on the Newbie board? Thanks all. I've gotten alot from these boards. --------------------------- H - 47 W - 47 DD - 12 DD - 5 M 23.5 T 27 OW - 43 S - 4/17/10
