Hi PL, I know this all sucks, we are all there or have been there. No it's not easy and the RCR is alot of ups and downs. And I agree with Isaiah, I slip some and call my H by a pet name from time to time but he has not returned the favor in over 10 months. I use to say ILY and he would say 'I know' until I just quit altogether, too much pressure on him.
Your H will cycle back and forth, that's part of the ride, and yes we hate the men they are right now. But remember, this is not really them, think of it as an imposter in your H's body. You are doing all the right stuff. Just keep it up. It's not over until you say it's over and I'm not getting the impression that it will be anytime soon. He will come thru this, it will just take time. For me, it's time well spent because I am growing as an independent person and I know that you are too. {{{hugs}}} Sooner
When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
