Yesterday was a tough day here too. Even though H's behavior is in line with reconnecting, it became clear in counseling that he is still not reconnected, and that a big part of him doesn't want to because he thinks as soon as he does, my libido will return to its previous levels and he will be stuck in a SSM again.

I feel like we are just delaying the inevitable.

However, I'll tell you what I am telling myself. The heart of DBing is making myself a better, more self-sufficient person. That works regardless of what happens to my marriage.

What are your GAL plans for the week?
