Ben11, Thanks for the response. It feels good to hear it sounds like the right track. Sometimes it's hard to see the good stuff when you feel like you are missing so much that used to be there.

I'm trying hard on the space. That is definitely hard for me. Probably the last week and a half have been my best weeks so far on not texting and calling, being more relaxed and trying to stand back and let him look for me instead of me making it so easy. Everything is on his schedule and he's not good at letting me know. Part of him leaving was he felt I was too controlling though, so I've really made an effort not to ask details and drill out a schedule. The GAL is hard too. I am busy around the house, have been trying to tackle a lot of projects that have needed to be done and get ready for the baby, but wish I could think of something a little more exciting and different to get his attention a little more. In a good way of course, lol.

Thanks again for the input. I'm glad I've found these boards. It is so good to have somewhere I can learn and talk without drawing people we know into it more. I'm hoping this will eventually work out, and I don't want to have to do major repair work with our families and friends.
