Coly, have you read the Hope06 posts. That woman was amazing. She was positively convinced her H was coming back and sure enough he did. He postivity, much like Alisuddenly's sheer determination, definitely give some insight into how to make a difference. However, Alisuddenly's H seemed to tell her when she came back that the various things she did really didn't matter. At the end of the day it came down to his love for her and her plucky spirit and that she was not mean to him. Even then when he knew it was the right thing to do, it took him many months to return.

I'm going to make a confession here, no doubt one I will regret. I fully believe that my H will try to come back at some point (I'm not predicting when). I am just not sure there will be an open door for him.
