I'm wondering how people deal with living with someone who acts like they don't even care an ounce about you and can't stand to be in the same room as you? My self esteem is completely shot, I feel mentally and emotionally abused most days. How do others deal with that?
By coming to the realization that our self-esteem comes from within, not from what others think about us or how they treat us. Remember that your H loved you for many years, now that he thinks he doesn't love you are you a different person than you were before? No, what has changed is your H's perception of how he feels about you. You are still the same person.
Now I'm not saying you shouldn't change anything about yourself, you should use this as an opportunity to take stock of mistakes you've made and do 180's on those.
But your self-esteem is another matter, you shouldn't let this whole experience make you forget who you are and what your value is. The reason for GALing is to build your self-esteem back up WITHOUT your H. PMA kind of goes hand-in-hand with self-esteem, and the goal is to have an abundance of positive energy which will show your H you will be fine with or without him. Once he sees this he may very well be drawn back to you like a moth to light.
