I'm glad this thread is getting some attention. It just seemed to me that we didn't have very much info. about withdrawal and what happens once they really leave replay. I know my H. is not there yet, although as Snodderly said, he has shown periods of withdrawal once the depression began setting in. So he's in a replay/depression/withdrawal pattern, and cycling right now.

There seems to be a lot of us who have H's in replay. Since I don't believe this can go on forever either one of two things will happen:
Sometime soon, there should be several of us who begin to see our H's leave replay and start acting even stranger (withdrawal).
Or, either we or our H's will file while they are still hopping around in replay.
I'm a little worried I might fall into the latter; not sure yet.

What I'm really looking for is someone who has a H or W that has been in withdrawal and is now possibly going into acceptance. I want to hear what this is like, what they've experienced.


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