Oceangrl, I am so sorry you’re having a rough time right now. I’ve been at a low point in my journey the last couple of days, and I feel for you. I’m glad Newbie shared that quote from Andrew. I needed to read it again—it’s also one I saved early on and return to when I’m scared and feeling hopeless. Newbie, I too appreciate the encouragement you’re giving here. My H has not yet moved out, but I know he has a fantasy in mind of his being happy once D happens. Your words are bringing me comfort too.

Oceangrl, I think it’s important to not feel pressured to react right away to your H or to go on this walk with him. It sounds like he wants you to begin participating in his fantasy! You’re not ready to talk about this with him, and that’s okay.
