Hi Beeber,

Standard greeting: Sorry to see you here. But really, it is always hard. My H is in MLC (he is 44) and we do not have young children, so I have that thought sometimes too - what are the excuses/reasons to connect now that we are separated. My H is having a long distance affair (approximately 3-4 days with OW every 2 months) and meanwhile they text and phone. I had the same questions - how long will it last? And also the hidden question you didn't mention "Should I wait?" All I can tell you is, you will have to decide what you are committed to.

Have you read Divorce Remedy yet? I think your behavior has been just great from what you describe, and from your short description, your H sounds overwhelmed and confused. I would encourage you not to panic, or to do anything sudden right now. Begin to observe your H's behavior, and also your own. Identify what you can do in your own life to make improvements, focusing on you and your behavior. Start there.

I can tell you one thing. Your situation is NOT HOPELESS. It is just hard. Read alot on these boards, you will learn a lot. Please come read my thread too.

I wish you all the best. Keep posting, and hang in there. I will check up on you again.
