I have told him what I want...emotional stability, to be treated like a man who truly loves his wife should treat his wife, with respect, love, and honestly. I am going to start living my life...have decided that...again. I know when I start to pull away...he comes forward. But it is actions that prove to me not words.
Carole, you have done all that you could at this point, the ball is in his court. Pull back, take care of your own life and stop worrying about what he is doing. Doing this really is your best chance at getting him back, or moving on without him with as little pain as possible. You can't make him love you.
Oh, and yes, you should stick to one thread.
