New and need encouragement

[Not Quitting]

Hi there, such a hard situation having to deal with all of this uncertainty. I feel your pain, as my H and I are also on a temporary separation. It is hard to balance. You want to try so hard to be friendly and nice, but not too close, etc. It's all so contradictory! Hang in there and work on doing nice things for yourself! It sounds like you have a great, well-rounded child, you have obviously raised him well.

Hopefully you can find someone that you can talk to about your relationship that is pro-marriage, as it is not productive for you to hear the negative comments. And of course, you always have us on the forum!

Thanks for your thoughts Highway. Finding this forum and MWD's books is probably the best thing I've done lately.

My son does me proud. I guess I got that right as well. He seems to be coping pretty well with things even if he does get a bit clingy now and then. But who doesn't love cuddling with their kid!
