Hi Deb - Thank you so much for stopping by...My stomach is in knots about how H will act towards me tonight. I've been reviewing older threads of mine and listening to Mars and Venus. Your suggestions are VERY helpful. Thanks for listing out the different options and things you have done.

When I posted "before" I was in newcomers and then mlc so I don't think we posted to each other back then but I have been following your sitch and admire how far you have come. Some of things your H has said and his actions (mlc) have been so similar it truely seems like a script that they follow.

Yes, I am in Act as If mode with nerves

Hope you have a good night

Take Care,
SP


According to the Buddha, praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow may "come and go like the wind," but happiness comes if you can "rest like a great tree in the midst of them all."
