Lol..you know it's fascinating to read these threads..I remember thinking there was no way I would ever get through all this..and if I knew then what I know now I would have been so much stronger and quicker to detach and who knows how it would have played out..
I wish there was a way to show to swimmingupstream that she truly will be fine if this doesn't work out. The best thing to do is follow the advice..take a hard nosed stand on the H and give him the ultimatum and FOLLOW THROUGH...it's like disciplining a child, you need to parent them..it seems sooooo hard to take that step and put the M on the line..the worst case scenario is it won't work out..honestly it's not working now anyway..the best case scenario is that you just 180'd, showed your H a better you, an attractive you..and now you have started the process of truly DBing..but I realize when you are going through this, it is sooo hard to see it that way..the fear sux..
