Punkin and Irish..I did that too when my H had moved out of the house. It was lonely and even worse when I looked over to his empty chair, so I stopped looking over there. Even the dogs missed him. Then when he came back, he was really crabby and resentful, but sitting in his chair..and it wasn't the same anymore. It has been getting better but it's slow. I don't think my H ever thought about me when he was gone. He did say once tho that when I left him alone, no texts, no calls, etc..that he started to miss me and our conversations.

Maybe the NC is working in ways you don't even know, Irish.

and Punkin, let's just hope your H wakes up before he makes a really big mistake.

You are both included in my nightime prayers. Prayers ALWAYS help. I've never seen a time when they didn't. You just don't always get exactly what you pray for..but instead get what you need.

In case you both get busy this weekend..I'll be thinking about ya and sending happy thoughts your way.
