I posted this on another board but am getting no replies. Maybe I need to post it here:
My H made clear this weekend that he doesn't want the D he was thinking about last week. Praise God for that - an answer to prayers! But for the past 2 years we have lived like roommates. He rarely shows me any affection. This all stems from my infidelity a few years ago plus a chemical dependency problem that resurfaces time and time again (including last week, which was why the D subject came up again). I'm trying to get our M back on track despite all the problems. I am always sending little email notes, kissing him goodnight, even buying him flowers, to no avail. I'm afraid if I do a 180 and stop the little love things I do, we'll get even farther apart. I don't want to give him the impression that I'm losing my love for him. Am I expecting too much too soon? How do I handle this situation? Thanks
