Jamie and Jenny,

thanks..... I know things will take time and that he did take a big step coming back into the house. If I learned one thing these last months is to not question and push.

I need to concentrate on him being back and taking baby steps, this is difficult.

Did either of your spouses go to counseling??? I mentioned this to my h and he refused. He said to give him time, and to let him be and things will work out.

The closeness is what I miss and I guess I am pushing that part. I want to show him affection and he is not ready for that yet. I did ask him why he came back if he is not ready for that. Not that I want everyting right away but that I do want hugs..... Does this make sense??

Just reading the success stories helped me and I know we still have a long road ahead of us......

Thanks for the support.
