Sarah, by "retreat" do you mean did I go dark? Or do you mean withdraw from him? I didn't go dark, that would have been too hard for me. Unless my leaving for 2 weeks is considered dark. I think that gave him the opportunity to find out what it would be like to be a single father. As far as withdrawing, we were both withdrawn from each other, for a long, long time before bomb- I guess looking back on it now. We had become very distant. I will look for your progress in this situation you are in. You have my support! Lisa
