Thank you for the suggestion on the article. I read it and am thinking about buying the book. I also looked at your blog and will continue to do so. I also ordered a few other books I've seen mentioned on this website.

Yesterday, I did break down in tears, call him and tell him that I was sorry and thanked him for all that he has done for me. In my mind, I needed to do that to prepare to say "goodbye" to start to detach. He did come home a few minutes early last night, when he has been coming home late. He also thanked me for dinner and told me how good it was. And he also tried a different wine. He didn't tell me he didn't like it. I asked if it was ok and he told me he liked his usual better. So, those are some of the small things I will take to heart and see as positives.

This morning, I asked him if he wanted me to buy tickets to a concert (we had palnned to go), and he told me no that he was too busy to think about it. The positive there was that he didn't say, no because I don't want to go with you.

I have set a goal for myself to not call him this weekend while I am gone. That will be very difficult for me to do. I will be away with a friend, so hopefully I can talk to her about the things I would normally call him about.
