ncl,

Thanks so much for your feedback. It's good to know that you can sense change in my POV.

MY GAL is hard-won - still don't feel like doing it and, of course, just when I start doing things that H used to really like doing as a family, he is not around to notice!

But I'm not doing them to get him back, I'm doing them for me and the kids ... I know (or, at least, I will accept this eventually).

I must admit to being a bit concerned in terms of the 'do what works' department.

Since I stopped being so available to H (i.e. stopped answering his every call), he has cut us off almost completely.

I realise that not much time has passed in relation to this - and that I might be making a mistake to draw a line between my going dim and his NC ... but it does concern me a bit.

He is SO retaliatory.
He told me after I found out about his A that he did it only to get back at me for the hurt I had done to him.

Anyway, just need to be patient and keep trying to work on myself.

Great to hear from you as always, and I'll keep you posted!

Hugs, NLW
