Several questions.
1. Why did you create a new thread when you only had 39 postings on the old one? You can change the title for your postings within the thread and you won't get dinged for 100 postings or even a little more. Try to keep to one thread until you've reached the 100 mark. By having more than one thread, it's sometimes difficult for us to follow your growth.

2. What are you asking when you ask has anybody had luck twice? If you are referring to your h beginning his crisis 7 years ago and then being interrupted by something you did...well, it's better to allow him to finish his crisis because he will just continue to begin again and again until he's finished. Also, each time he is interrupted and he begins again, his behaviors will get worse.

My advice, don't try to manipulate him or interrupt his crisis. Give him the time and space to finish it up. Hopefully when he does finish, he'll be a far better and more mature man who will be someone you want to be with. Until that time, work on YOU and do the things that you need to do such as lists of things you've put on the back burner, learn something new and most of all rediscover the woman you where when you met your h.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
