Hi there. I am very new here and could use lots of advice and support. I just read through your whole thread, Acorn, and you are one wise lady! You are extremely insightful and would appreciate you checking out my thread if you have a moment. Detatching has been extremely difficult for me - especially regarding OW, but once I let that go, detatching from all the old stuff (17 years worth) has gotten easier, but it continues to be an ongoing process. That's why I really think H and I are at a standstill in some ways R wise - he can't detatch from the past. We wholeheartedly were able to do that the first time he came back, but it was all so fast and I think baby steps this time might make things long lasting this time. I look forward to reading your words of wisdom - P
