Everyone's kind words help, so thank you.

I am going to suggest the therapy idea to H. when I see him. I hope he will be agreeable. It would be the first right thing he's done in a very long time.

Just to clarify, Sassy, I am not pregnant! (lol) I am thankful for that, at least. That would complicate things even further.

I bought Feeling Good, the book that was suggested to me. I started reading it last night. I do plan to talk to a counselor, even if H. doesn't go with me. I need to find a different one, though, as I don't feel I got very much out of the first woman I went to see.

You know, after 6 mo. of being separated, I really thought that if H. decided he wanted a divorce I would be more detached from things and better capable of handling it. Turns out I don't feel that way at all. It still hurts very much.

Thanks again for the kind words; I do appreciate everything.


Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
