Thanks for the redirect to the P/D dance....I just read the thread and am excited to find people that can understand the cycle and you are right, Cadet, I am ready to break the cycle.

In fact, I had told myself back in 20whatever it was (I think 2010: If H leaves/runs again I am not going to be able to stand for it.

So here we are: New Year's Eve and I am going to try to break this cycle and see what happens. I am just not happy that we are back to 'this' again and have to figure out a whole new way to approach this situation.
