Thank you Cat03. Yes, I think you hit the nail on the head. And I guess, that is why I'm asking for others to listen to my sitch and give me their take. To be honest, this is why I'm asking what would be a good move for me at this point. I'll always love XH and want my M to be restored but don't know what to do for myself to let XH know while he's comfortable having it all I am not. I have no interest in dating or anything like that. And I guess that is why I'm seeking advice. After all that has happen, we are still "friends" and I don't know if I need to be honest and flat out tell him we can no longer have any type of R except for children sake, do I say nothing and go dark, I'm just confused and unsure. If you have any feedback, I'd appreciate it. Thank you Amy
