Hi John - It sounds like you're one of the lucky ones!! I'm teetering on the brink of good and bad and need to know how to tip the scales. I'm under - separated, now what - There's no OW but my H hasn't returned and is "thinking about" us and "trying" but showing no sign of a move in that direction.

Could you give me a male perspective on how to proceed?? Are there any specific books I could recommend to my H that would give him some insight on piecing us back together??

He's someone who runs from conflict and when afraid, just digs in and refuses to learn or grow. I don't know how to bring him back into our little one's life and mine. He does love his son but is so afraid of "us". There weren't big fights, nothing specific made him crack and walk. I just wasn't as loving and was critical. I realize my end of the problem and have been dbing my butt off.

Sorry to bother you but you seem to be on the right track - any ideas??
