I'm a LBS. My wife still lives at home and I'm finding that detaching and GAL difficult. I can imagine it is painful and difficult for you, but if your H was at home the situation would still be the same. At least now you can GAL and have some space between the two of you to avoid back sliding.
I have made so many mistakes since my wife first put D on the table. Now that she has filed I'm not sure I can make up for them. I'm still not going to give up. I hope you don't either. GAL will only make a person better person and that's not giving up by a long shot.
