I felt Leo was more on the side of standing up for myself, maybe asking her to leave. Or maybe I got the wrong impression?


In his case he left, but yeah, that was the main difference between our posts. And sometimes it does make sense for the LBS to leave, maybe the WAS owned the house previously, or they live in a place the LBS can't afford, etc. Every sitch is different. But in general, we suggest the LBS hold their ground and not force the WAS out, but let the WAS decide that on their own.

I know where you are coming from, when my sitch started I just wanted people to tell me it would be OK and the M would be restored, that is ALL I wanted to hear! Anything else was just too painful to read! But it does get better, the things we talk about here- GAL, detachment, those are the keys to getting your self-esteem back, feeling better about yourself, healing, and truly moving to the point where you know you'll be fine whether with or without your W (but hopefully with).

Good job! smile

Things are looking up for W and me to join the list in the near future smile We're not to piecing yet, but things have really progressed rapidly this month. She's starting to verbalize what she wants our M to look like "when" we get back together. Things like cooking together, eating together, praying before meals, showing the kids an example of a perfect M, things like that. It's moving so fast that I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the developments. We haven't talked about her moving back in yet, I think if/ when that happens then we'll officially be piecing.
