Need some help on where we are! So my husband is still at home and things have been going ok. He did tell me the other day that he stressed out from everything, which is something he had never said (of course I knew he was). We able to sit with each other on the couch, last night we even sat next to each other and shared a blanket. So here's my question, are we piecing? He has never been out of the house, and we have agreed to work on things. I see us moving forward and taking the necessary steps. I lost as to where we are though.

He is still sleeping on the couch, which I understand he needs his space and time. I tell him goodnight and just go up to our room and I do not pester him about coming back to bed.

I started school on the 27th and can't wait. I am nervous about how he will feel with me not home, but I also know I have to do this for myself and for my marriage to stand a chance. Plus, I will then have a lot to talk to him about, which in long run may bring us closer.

This is so hard!!! I can understand why people get divorced, walking out would be a whole lot easier, but we fight for the things and people we love. I was hopeless on Tuesday, felt hopeful last night and have carried that hopeful feeling to today. Day by day, step by step and little by little.

As Michelle said, "love isn't just a feeling, it is a decision." I wish I could say that to my husband.
