Thanks for your good wishes Mish, I had a quick scan of your thread and it seems like you and Gabe are still together, you are still doubting and he is still staying. Not sure what you want from him other than masses of love and reassurances that he will never go awol again ? Do we ever get that and if we did would we loose the doubt?
Maybe do what I am doing just go with the flow enjoy it for now.
Maybe it is different when its the same man who left when you start a relationship again but I know I will never go through the pain I did again. I am not the same person.
I am strong, I am woman, hear me roar ! whoa sorry got abit carried away there.
Do hope it all works out for you and you relax and enjoy the what is.
Guess I will go back to my new life now. Take care x
