Hi Matilda,

Yes, I have another thread on separated. I'm very slowly moving over here (hopeful thinking?) since my husband spends a lot of time with me and the kids and has been talking more and more about reconciliation.

The books I've mentioned are... and I just pulled them out ..."Not 'Just Friends'" by Shirley Glass and I believe the other is "Getting Back Together" by Bilicki and Goetz. I read "After the Affair" about 10 years ago (after my husband's first affair!!! I should probably reread it).

I REALLY like the Friends book. It's thick and filled with a lot of interesting research based information. Michele Weiner-Davis (DB and DR author) is even quoted on the front of it. The other book is very good too. I have numerous other books as well that I'm reading (like "Surviving Your Husband's Midlife Crisis").

I'll try and pull out some gems of wisdom from the Friends book and share them here.


There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
