That is exactly how my S took off. Just settle in and TRY to detach. At first, you are going to HATE the loneliness you will feel in your own home. I still struggle with that, even when my D is with me. When she is not, it's flat horrible. Don't stew or let yourself fall into too much self pitty. Get out of the house and do something, anything. GAL!

Your husband will settle down and things will get easier. Both of your emotions are very raw right now. Give it a little time for your brains to start taking over again. Things are going to seem pretty irrational!!!!! Just keep up your DBing and don't budge on anything you don't find acceptable. Also, do not act on any of your emotions. I made my sitch so much worse after S by lashing out.

It is probably a really good time to start journaling. It will help you keep things in perspective.
