Wow - too coincidental. Just today I had a conversation with my friend that when you ask God for patience He will give it to you, and then will give you a bunch of situations that require that you use it!! Too funny we're both on the same path right now!

Diana I am so exactly where you are. My H says he loves me, and wants the marriage to work. So why the ------ doesn't he moved back home and start the marriage?! He needs space and needs to work on his issues. Well he can still go to counseling even if he lives at home. He can go up to the extra bedroom and close himself in. We can create a man cave for him for his space. Boo!

Also very grateful someone mentioned the rubber band thing, because it sure seems to play true. Last night we were romantic and loving and affectionate. Today no contact, except for one very terse text he sent me that said "busy day at work. Hope your day went well. Good night." I mean, why even both to text?!

On the GAL side of things, I had a great day at my job, spent lunch talking to some of my best friends who are also work buddies. After work I had a dental check up then saw my therapist and had a great personal session with her. Tonight I talked to my sister, hung out with my kids, and did some shopping. Was actually so busy until just about 9 PM that I didn't even realize he hadn't contacted me all day.

I just feel like life is short, we know we love each other, and I miss him. I want to spend my days near him, not just waiting for the clock to run out until he figures out that he needs to come back home. But that's my arrogance and sense of superiority .

I try to remember to be grateful that we are where we are now!! Piecing is a much better place to be than where I was two months ago.
