Hi Unbroken -

It's great to hear from you too! I didn't have any updates, so it probably seems like I've dropped off the face of the planet!

Yes, our situations are definitely similar! I've been working out a ton - it really helps me with stress and gives me a feeling of self satisfaction that I "can do it!!" I also have several friends that I go to the movies, etc. What have you been doing?

It's so difficult to pull back and let God take control, but that's kind of what initially I was forced to do, but then I realized that's what I should have been doing all along! ;\) I thought I was doing that until I went dark and realized I was still so attached to every one of his actions (or lack there of!).

So, do you think I should still stay dark and give it more time? That's my feeling on it, but I just wanted to check it out w/ others. Laurie (DB Coach) said she wasn't so sure that H would contact me due to his own depression and self esteem stuff (he might just think he went too far and this is his consequence), although I think he needs to really experience life w/o me. I think my H thinks I will contact him and that's one of the reasons why our separation has gone on so long. He hasn't really had to experience any consequence of his choice b/c I've always been his safety net. It's easier said than done though.... I just have to have faith in God. By the way, Holly 06 recently posted a great older post that talks about this very thing. It came at the right time, just when I was starting to have a few doubts.

Thanks for responding to me - I really appreciate that! \:\)
