Hey ILE Guy,

Thank you. I'm sorry about your situation as well. It's a tough place to be and one of the loneliest times in my entire life (as I'm sure it is for you).

We have a 6 month period in CA. H and I are in a tug of war of some sorts now. One minute he's warm and the next he's cold. It's exhausting to say the least and hard to feel like any real progress has been made. But I guess it has gotten better since when this first started he would barely talk to me and now he's hanging out and staying over at the house once sometimes twice a week.

We've been together 5 years. S8 is from a previous relationship but calls H his dad and H was planning to adopt him.

Long story short-- we've had a challenging but very passionate relationship. His family and friends have never supported it, mainly because they all thought H got consumed by it and I "took him away and changed him". Last November, his brother and I got in an argument and his brother gave H an ultimatum: him or me. H chose me and it strained his relationship with his brother which caused even more animosity from his family and friends towards me. My dad was diagnosed with cancer around that time as well, so we were dealing with a lot of stress. H and I secretly got married in January and were planning our wedding for November 14. Our wedding was another stressor as H felt everything was over the top nonsense. In Sept after our bachelor/bachelorette weekend H came home and said he was calling off our wedding, wanted a divorce, was moving out that night, and I needed to start looking for a place to live.
