Nicole, it is ok to miss your husband. Allow that feeling but keep moving forward. Young child or no young child, your husband will cross your mind.

You say he is angry. About what? And, what about you? Be angry about how he has been in and out of your life. Say no more to that please. The more you do, the stronger you'll become. My situation is totally different but I feel stronger every day.

Could your friends sense that you are not ready to hear what may happen?

Don't worry about being pleasant, just be respectful. Don't be a doormat.

Why is your husband disgusted about the consulting job? Did you ask? Hey honey, I saw the disgust expression, what is that about?

Care Nicole about your husband's mental health but don't take it on. It is his responsibility. Advised by many counselors. If the time to reconcile ever came, it could become a requirement for you two getting back together.

I know the struggle of feeling empty. I know the feeling behind seeing what we think are happy couples. The sting is pretty hard.

[I can't imagine any other man even coming close to comparing to my husband.] You are absolutely not ready and that is absolutely ok. Do not date until you feel otherwise. It would not be fair to another man. And maybe you are stuck in the past when he was not a cheater and was very protecting, caring, and romantic.

I wish you all you desire and more Nicole. TC!
