Progress isn't linear. Bummer, isn't it!

Your W has to come to understand what I finally understand--intimacy in a marriage is a NEED, not a WANT. It doesn't show neediness on anyone's part. It is such a basic in a good marriage that both parties must NEED it to make the marriage work.

I never thought I needed intimacy. Thought my M could skate along on our vows 26 years ago. Boy, was I wrong!

I see no progress in my R. I think I made a huge mistake forcing my H to move out of the house. I'm having trouble showing H I'm happy. My PMA rose and fell several times yesterday. I was very lonely yesterday evening after H left (he came to sign refinancing paperwork) and started wondering why I am still here...waiting.

We're all in different places in our R's. We all have to wait out the tough times and enjoy the good times.

You can do it too. [Smile]
