Husband left me...feel hopeless

[ben11]

HAP,

I'm not sure what part you're referring to as the backslide but I think it started when you went to his parents. As hard as it is, you really need to give him his space, and let him have his safe places without you. Give him time to collect himself. As many people have said, Getting A Life is one of the best things you can do right now. It not only distracts you from your sitch, but brings happiness to your life in an otherwise crappy time.

Stay patient. It's an awful time in your life. Believe me, I've been there for 6 months and am only now MAYBE moving to the next step. GAL, give him space, GAL, give him space, GAL. Can't stress that enough. Be the person he'd be a fool to leave. It took my W thinking I was moving on to even be interested in figuring things out (or at least i think).

Hang in there. Stay positive. It will get easier.
