Hi Hope,

Thanks for posting on my thread yesterday. I have read through some of your sitch and I can really understand where you are, to a large extent. My H is not living with me, but before he left, he was treating my like yours is for about a year or two: out 5 nights a week, never home for dinner w/ family, emotionally withdrawn, but would occasionally throw me a few crumbs. I am just now, after over 2 months, starting to see that there really could be a life without him. Do I want it? I don't know. I still love him, too. We are both in IC, and I think that is helping him a lot, and may help us as a couple. As you say, if your XH can't give you what you need in a R, then you need to find your own way. And I know, I know, it's so hard, but you can can do it! And you may not have a lot of money, but at least you won't be emotionally broke.

Best,
Nicola
