In the beginning there were a few 180s I was practing re: the way I behaved in our relationship. Showing more of an interest in his work, being more "go with the flow", doing more around the house, and being more forgiving. I was sincere in my efforts and the last in particular was a big step for me.

He accused me of being fake and was very angry that I was trying to change now when he had already decided it was too late. His anger got too much for me and since he is living in house I have now gone into protection mode and am doing 37 rules as much as possible.

I do think we are in somewhat different places. My H is oretty adamant that he is done. The fact that your H is going to Retrovaille suggests he is still open to working on things. Is the OW still in the picture?

Detaching is sooo hard. I'm still taking it minute by minute. Maybe by next week I can graduate to hour by hour!
