Decided to take a few days off the forum since my anniversary was Sunday. Yay -- 17 years of marriage.

Thanks for the tips ciluzen and AndrewP. I cannot beat my house payment and my daughter loves her school, so we will be staying where we are for awhile. Plus I have family near by that can help meet the bus and such. I want to move so bad, but that would be crazy. I let my H cover the crazy category.

Peacetoday and Sotto. I am definitely taking it one day at a time. I do see my self as stronger. And instead of being mad at my H for abandoning me -- I am trying to find the blessings. My daughter and I are growing closer and we are enjoying new habits / changes we are making for ourselves. Like picking up sushi for dinner or taking our evening walks.

SBJ -- I am sorry to hear that you are in this situation as well. Right now my H is working 5 days a week at his day job and weekends at a local festival. He is probably swamped and overwhelmed with all the attention he is receiving -- or our D would have already been filed as well. I am praying that he will forget or think it is too much trouble. I will start praying for you and your family as well.

I miss my H dreadfully. I miss the security and his companionship. I am hoping this is just a wobble on our life story, but trying to prepare myself if it is not.


Me: 42
Him: 45
Daughter: 13
