Kara put it the best! Hope is ok as long as its within the paramenters of a sensible expectation.. Its ok to hope youre prince will find you, but its not ok to waste a perfectly good life waiting for him!
Wonderful words, LR! Love the way you said this.

My H came home, its been the hardest six months I have ever survived and believe me we have had some other testing times! Just to put your expectations in perspective, it WONT EVER BE THE SAME! It COULD be better but it will be months/year before it gets to that..
I'm glad you said this. I need to accept that my life will NEVER be the same, whether he comes back or stays gone forever. Those times are gone, and that's that.

You are a lovely lady and your H is a plonker not seeing what a fantastic woman he has under his nose and he is stupidily letting go! Having said that why keep such a fantastic woman under lock and key of unrequited hope... I can hear Mindfull screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOO from this side of the ocean! Hope is fine, sensible expectation fine if you can keep it sensible but the key word as always on this board is DETACH, you will need if he doesnt come back and its really needed twice as much if they do come back!
Detach. Yes. Detach. And yes, he's a plonker. Why hasn't anyone told him this??
