Hi Raine!

First off, I just want to tell you that your posts make me laugh! "Eager beavers"? Burial suit for the phone (which I would also like btw) I so get your sense of humor smile

I think home is more symbolic and meaningful for our guys than we could ever imagine. During the bomb speech, my H yelled at one point, "How do you think it feels that I can't even stand being in my own home?"

They feel trapped, want to run, need space. Some leave, some don't. Some return, some don't. But for all the newbies out there, it is IMPERATIVE that you give space, no matter what.

I think home is also a reminder to them of their old life. A life that they have rewritten many things about, a life which they often try to forget.

I think it's good that your H came home.

It's hard when we are one of the ropes, but I think of it as a transition. They aren't going to let go of all of the other ropes and just have us till they are ready. They need to fully realize they don't need those other ropes ( and that these ropes actually make their life worse, not better).

You are doing great Raine! Keep those toes sparkling like your personality smile
