Cherry, thanks for the hugs! You're right, he could have driven off because he feels guilty. I still have this tendency to blame everything on myself. Guess I need to read CDNM again.

BT! Nice to hear from you too. Yea, the break wasn't necessarily a good thing for me. I was just retreating and staying numb rather than moving on and acting "as if"

For both of you, I went out last night to get my hair done and bought a new shirt for midnight mass. I'll try to make sure I do things for myself, but it is hard having my H in the house for the next four days.
