ugh...he has texted me a few times and one of his texts says "I love you" and it is taking all my willpower not to answer him.
I just don't want to get sucked back in, especially because it is so hard for me to detach. It's a very big struggle for me.

Advice? Thoughts?

Yes DG...don't do that. He needs to earn that from you at some point. Just keep doing what you are doing. It appears to be working!

Why doesn't it feel like it's working though?
I feel just terrible about it. I miss him so much.
I'm really trying. I am.

I know how hard this is. Unfortunately, that is what we have to deal with to get our spouses back. Just concentrate on you. If you get the urge to contact him, just ask yourself..Am I ready for it? Have a fixed me enough that I know I can be happy around them without them affecting my feelings? These are things I am doing.

I picked up the book 5 LL yesterday and started reading it today.
I was hesitant but this is a very good book!
Very insightful. I just ordered his book "Hope for the separated" and I hope that one is good also.

Has anyone read that book?

I agree with Brian. If you are able to continue the track of not responding, I would say it's highly likely he is going to start getting more persistent.

I have not read 5LL, but I am seriously thinking about picking it up. I have done some pieces of it, so I'm somewhat familiar with it. It's a pretty popular book, and for a good reason. Enjoy!
