Hi Lostlove,

I just skimmed over your thread quickly. I can totally relate to your frustration.

My H is probably the slowest person on the planet as far as piecing our marriage goes, I'm still not sure how it's going to turn out.

What I've found that works and I'm sure you know this too, is to count the baby steps, focus on the positive and act as if. If I lose my focus and stop noticing the positives, my PMA plummets. I'm still working on this and find it really challenging.

Even though your H is physically back he still may have personal issues that he has not worked through. This really takes some time.

Yes, like you I'd like some romance or to be wooed or at least have him try to "make it up" to me. It hasn't happened yet. It doesn't fit my pictures at all about how I thought we should reconcile but we are piecing our marriage back together particle by particle. I can't wait to finally (after almost 3 years Dbing and 4+ dealing with MLC) to write to Michele and say another divorce busted. It bothers me that I still can't say that.

I really don't have much to add to all the other posts just wanted you to know that we are in the same boat. I am also a SAHM. Hang in there, things are improving.

Will your H go to counseling or to a weekend of some kind? We went to the Retrouvaille weekend and it does open up communication a lot.

Take care,
Kansha
