Blu, please don't feel like you need to be constantly giving to the rest of us here. Your H is back, but that means that the real work of healing your M is an ongoing project.

The woman I talked to at my BAN meeting is 5 years out from BD, her H was gone a year, and they've been working at it ever since. I can't imagine that a MR will ever feel as easy/trusting/safe as it was before such a crisis.

I choose to still carry love for my H, but I know that, even if he does decide to return, nothing will ever be the same again. You are living that every day Blu, and I know that it must be very hard sometimes.

Please share whatever you feel comfortable sharing Blu, and know that we are here for you, too!
