I am totally convinced that EVERY marriage IS salvagable. My H was so far gone emotionally that I was practically dead in his eyes...the coldness that exuded from him after the first bomb was devastating. He said every MLC textbook phrase imaginable...He was a TOTAL stranger to me back then...but again, here we are today, as this tragic process unfolded over nearly two years...he has come back around, in his own time, in his own way....and believe me when I tell you that HE is grateful that I am still here for him. He has said so many times that he doesn't know who "that guy" was that he'd become...he hates him...he's afraid of him...and he will never become "that guy" again. T2
