Hey Sue. I remember the first nights I stayed alone in my new place (dont ask me why I was the one to move out...she wanted out, I should have stayed in the house!) and yes it is hard! Just try not to think about it too much. One thing that helped me out was a good book. NOTHING to do with relationships, marriages, family! I read one called "The Dark Virgin", about the Spanish Conquistadors (is that how you spell that ? ). A Historical Fiction...good read and nothing too heavy. Then I would fall asleep reading and it took my mind off things. Let go of Divorce Busting and Divorce Remedy for a while. You pretty much know what's in there. Get a good book (I strongly dicourage anyything on Oprah's list if you are going through a tough time ) and just read yourself to sleep. It worked for me. Although I ruined a couple of pairs of good eye glasses that way!

Did you know crying actually empties the body of toxins? Just dont over do it. Have a good cry, make yourself a hot cup of milk, grab a book and it the sack! Dont look at the pictures on the wall, dont look at where his shoes usually are, just go to bed and remember...although you may not like it right now, you CAN stretch out onto the whole bed. Hey, if it's there, why not!

As far as your sister goes! WHO CARES! I am pretty sure he is not lying! I mean, he would actually have to be one of the best damn actors around to pull that one off! Brush it off, and believe in him, in yourslef!

I envy you! Your husband is NOT saying that it is over for ever! He just needs a bit of space! So enjoy the bed while it lasts, cause chances are it wont! In my case, things are a bit more complicated!
