Thanks KAW for the support. I wish I could offer something up to you. I follow your posts....know you have been extremely patient. WOW...you are such a good, good man. Too bad your W only recognizes for brief periods of time. Her loss, really. Just keep taking good care of you...let her be. That ole "lovingly distant" thing, I guess.

Things are steady here with H. I pressured him slightly to talk with our S about him moving back here. H got a bit defensive and said, "It is obvious to him we are doing so well...what's the big deal with a BIG talk?" I backed off....and did/said nothing. And guess what? About 10 min later he called our S in and walked him through our sitch...saying, "we almost lost our R, but the sep helped us both realize that we had our priorities mixed up. That we are now focused on each other and making our R the main priority and communicating and enjoying each other more than we have in 5-6 years."

Well I got what I wanted to hear...in his words. He then asked me if I was satisfied....and discussed how I could have brought this whole thing up w/o putting H on the defensive. I accepted his point of view....and inside was feeling really good.

We are on the same track, and moving along at a steady pace. No ILY's....but as I told Nik....I can be really patient with those words...cuz I really only want them when it's heartfelt...with no pressure. BTW...I haven't said ILY either!

Trying to stay strong, PATIENT, continue to work on me and make H and the family my #1 priority. So far, so good!

I know my faith and God's guidance has played the main role here....I just know that deep in my heart. Trust...in God....it is truly worth it.
