I've been posting over in Newcomers since the fall, but reading lots and visiting here.
I could really use the advice and patience-boosting of the people over here. My H is talking about wanting his M back and is right now making a transition from OW place to his own place. The goal we've both talked about is his coming home. He feels he needs some time on his own first. I think that makes sense.
The biggest thing I'm struggling with is that he's withdrawn more since telling me that this is what he wants to do. He keeps asking for my patience, but other than that, he's actually communicating with me and opening up with me less.
I don't know what to do with this most of the time. Mostly I am keeping the lines open, being a friend and giving him the space he says he needs, keeping my own life moving ahead.
