Thanks, Loyalist - it really does sound like we're in very similar situations. I and my husband are in the same state, but about two hours apart; he's said he'll file but has made no move that I know of to get that done; and I assume he's dating but don't have any direct evidence. I don't know what it would mean to do a 180. He has so little contact with me, how would he know whether I'd made changes to my behavior?

I'm trying to eat well and exercise. I recently joined a divorce support group that makes me feel a little less crazy. I cry a lot, but it's a release that really does help me cope. Enjoy myself? That's hard. Even when I do things that I previously would have enjoyed, I must confess that it's hard to feel anything.

I wish you well making your tough decision and I thank you for your post.

Peace,

Rebecca
