Thank you so much for your reply - you never can have enough words of encouragement! Do you have a thread? I would like to hear more about your situation as well. I'll have to figure out how to make my link work and post it again.
It's so hard b/c you want so much to help your spouse really see what you see, but you are so right that they can only see what is true for them in their own time. I love him so much and want so much for him to be happy. I want for him to share w/ me the tough times that he is experiencing, as well as to good times. I think that is one of the hardest things for me b/c that was something that was always so good for both of us. That was what brought us together, first as wonderful friends and then more. I hope that he misses that as well when he is clear.
Thank you so much for your support- it means so much to me!
