i think your wife is going through something that may take awhile to sort out

i also think if you give her the space she is going to come back....

we have to let them be and let them miss us

and if they don't, we are probably better off

one thing i have realized of late, if that i don't want to be in a relationship with someone that doesn't want me
i'm a true prize
and so are you


Thanks grr! I needed this reassurance. As hard as it is for me to allow my wife to find her own place right now while she figures herself out, the thoughts of being burned so badly are hard to go away. Combine the past with the fear of the unknown future, and you get a very conflicted H. You are right, though. I just need to continue to be patience with her.

Now if I can do all of this with self confidence (and no tears), I will be in much better shape. Lighthouse. Think lighthouse!

Thanks again, Grr. You are a true prize. smile
