Thanks for the words of encouragement and the hugs. I really do appreciate them especially in this dark time.
I have shifted my attitued towards her a little and am trying what I have read so many times on other posts. Im showing her as much love as I can without being "grabby" and "needy".
I need to be sure not to give her any excuse that she can use against me into saying that I made her leave.
I pray to god that she will stay but I also know that if she has decided to leave there is really nothing I can do to change her mind. All I can do is continue to act "as if" and to continue to work on myself.
May the Steel / tin / loving attitude be accepted at its face value.
