Elsa in Piecing (knock on wood)

[Zelda09]

Hi Elsa, I'm new on your thread! Ganb8te recommended it to me. Just got caught up and I'm seriously impressed with how little you rock and roll despite all that goes on internally. I will need to keep that with me in coming weeks.

One idea that occurred to me in reading your sitch - what if you acted as-if you were a happily married freshly in love version of yourself for a while? Your H, like mine, is able to think and work with heavy. Sometimes we get lost in it. We've had a solid week since he came home and I owe most of it to acting as-if and not letting the confusion he's going thru rock me from the loving sexual person I wanted to be despite the pain. He has said so many conflicting things it would drive me crazy. And has. My crazy is all over this board.

I told my H recently about the fantasy I had for my next H if he didn't stick around. It was inspired by the wonderful relationship with our dog. How good it is that one of us can't speak. I'd move to Europe, meet a man that spoke virtually no English, we'd pass the salt through hand signals, pet each other, ML, and that would be a conflict free and happy M with no ground for misunderstanding. We got a good laugh out of it anyway,

Hugs to you, congrats on all you've achieved, and still will...
