Sweetie, hang in there. You march on and do what you need to do...he will get used to the fact that he will be alone today. Take care of him, but take care of you too...you need OUT of the house. NOW.
I agree with Ellie...novelty...make sure it's fun for you too. Also, make sure it fits in with being YOU.
This is like a real addiction for your H...think of it like alcohol, etc....people go through horrible withdrawal symptoms...and lots of depression in teh wake of what they did to their life.
I see this also as the Depression phase of the MLC cycle...I'm sure you've read that already.
Kinda sad. I think of the day I got engaged and married, and how naive I was then...how full of love and endless hope. I never thought we would hit these rocks...but, then again, when we professed never-ending love, through thick and thin, being soul mates through it all....this is EXACTLY what we meant. So, every time I feel like a failure for letting this happen in my M (and I still have remorse), I also see it as the bumps in the road.
Nice, I had a dear friend, married for 30 yrs, tell me the other day that they had many times when they almost broke up and did actually separate. That made me feel better...feel real.
