THANK you for posting this! I definitely agree with what you've said. My H filed for D about 2 months ago, and I've had a hard time being myself since then, even though my strong beliefs and spirituality (and this board) have helped. It's hard not to cry every day, or to sleep well, but I have such limited contact with my H that he does not see any of this. I've been as nice and happy-sounding as I can. I will see him for lunch soon (first time since our meeting with the L) and I'm planning on being happy and upbeat. I'm also planning on not putting my life on hold for him anymore. My fear is, what if I really move on and he comes back to me in the future? And if I keep the hope, will I be unable to move on and waste my life?
