Why not just give the items away and tell him you don't have the darn things.. a purse? Sunglasses?

Seriously? Just deny having them anymore... lol

The attachment is discussed in Penny Tupy's Overcoming Infidelity eBook in depth.

You don't need to have a cheating spouse for attachment to kick in.

Attachment simply put is the bond that a couple builds after spending years together through thick and thin....

This attachment brings them closer after a fight. This attachment causes them to come home while in the heat of an affair. This attachment causes them to panic when their marriage is falling apart. This attachment is what makes spouses lonely who are so angry at each other they can't bear it

Attachment bonds two people into one over time.. one family unit...

Your H has as strong attachment with his mother as well... Its the same thing...

In short.. He's dragging this out partly for the simple fact that he misses you.

Nonesense? Really?

What would make someone who has been through the nonsense that you've tolerated worry about her estranged husband's sudden weight gain and possible heart problems?

What is making you worry about his health?

Attachment. It's there.

He doens't even understand it, its subconsious. Ask anyone here about their spouse moving out.. or legal disputes.. they DRAG ON FOREVER.. its because attachment is fighting the two people driving them together again...

This is biology.. we all do it...

This attachment is the same one that causes adopted children to seek out their birth parents... its incredibly powerful...

Nuts?

Yes

Unhealthy?

Definitely in the cases of abuse... batttered women still have a strong attachment to abusive husbands.. its what allows them to put UP with the abuse in teh first place...

Excitement brings people together, but the attachment that builds long term is what keeps people from breaking apart

Attachment can be broken, but it is a time consuming and painful process...

Can a man have an attachment to one woman
and an exciting sexual affair with another?

Of course.. that's what infidelity is... in most cases

Everything your H does to avoid breaking all association with you is attachment..

Him goign to his parents and complaining about you for hours on end...attachment... blatant in your face attachment
