Thanks you for your responses.

KarenR. I really wish I could use the coaches, I just can't afford it at this point. I'm DIY!

InAPickle,
Thanks for reminding me about goals. I have information overload since I read the book in 2 days!

I would say my goal right now is for my husband to see me as the dynamic, independent, fun-loving, active woman I used to be. I've been doing pretty good, but it's only been a couple of weeks. I have been pleasant on the phone to him and have not started any arguments. I joined some clubs, have gone to the gym and am actually going to Russia after Christmas with my mom.

I guess what's more important is that he see me as I mentioned above on a day to day basis. Or at least hear about it, as he is not here during the week.

My next goal is to have him doubt giving up on me because of what he loved about me in the beginning. (see above). That would be step 2.

Thanks for keeping me on track everyone. I come here constantly to read and learn and see if I've received any more advice. Thank you!
