BobbyO,

SA speaks the truth. I let my H goad me into losing my temper and, while it felt good to get some of it off my chest, it didn't help anything in the long run. As a result, I have decided to go dark-have no direct communication-for the meantime. Yes inside me are apologies, declarations of love, reminders of great times gone past. None of them amount to a tinker's damn to an MLC'r. Unless it is of urgent nature, the best response is no response. At least it was for me.

It give you time for you. Grieve, get it out, GAL, introspect. Everything and anything but cater to her wants and whims. It's her path, let her walk it.
