I have to second the reply from good ol' Meatpup. Leaving did NOTHING but force the D faster. My kids are grown, so I don't have that to worry about. He!! Meat, at least you got some when you got back. My H never begged or pleaded for me to return, or promise to be intimate to get me to come home. I am in the house because of advice from my lawyer. It's so much fun right now.... 13 months and STILL counting.
Having a ND H has made me feel as if I have lost many things that are important such as self worth and self love. I have spent hours agonizing over this decision, but esentially I have not made the decision, it has been forced on me.
AM and others, take care of yourselves because sometimes, that's all you have.
