I feel like we are just starting to put the broken pieces back together (kind of), even though we are still separated. So I wanted to post here for good luck.

The day before Thanksgiving I received an email from my H (he has been gone since May 06 - sailing around the world on a yacht). He wanted to know if I was still his wife. Said his screen saver is a picture of me on the beach. I responded that of course I am still his wife (6 months ago he wanted a legal separation). This email is the first positive thing he has had to say about us since he left.

I feel very uneasy about starting reconcilation discussions. But, I would feel worse if we didn't. There are sooooo many issues that have developed over the past 6 months. It is very intimidating.

My marriage counsler gave up on me months ago. But I did talk with Chuck @ DBers several times after the first counsler gave up. Will be calling Chuck again.

I sense I have a very long and hard road in front of me.
