Hope,

Looks like we're trying to knock out your thread today!

I caught on to something that I think you're trying to get across in your replies to me and realized that I wanted to clarify something I posted earlier. By no means would I suggest that *you* pursue legal action against your H. Any of my posts have been written under the assumption that your H is going to take you into that fire.

If you file, then obviously we know you've gotten to a place where you're done. Plain and simple. And by the time you would reach that point, you're right: You prolly wouldn't want him back.

My thoughts revolve around your H pulling you into the legal arena -- maybe that's because that's how it's played out in my sitch and because it appears your H is a lot more anxious about "finalizing" things between the two of you than you are ... at least for the time being.

Now, with all that being said, I have to agree with kismet: If it's meant to be, it will be. Some people may not agree with that. And I don't believe that things just "happen" to people; certainly, it takes some work on our part.

I think a lot can happen in 24 hours, Hope. I've always said that. Just think of everything that can happen in a week, a month, a year. There's absolutely no way we can predict what's to come, so might as well not plan too awful much for the future. You can make plans for yourself, but not for your M, as you know.

Keep kind to yourself, okay? You're really doing a fabulous job, and you've got a lot of support.
