Thanks Stubborn. Things seemed dismall for such a long time. I know that I have not been at this as long as some other vets on these boards. But I can say it has been a hard battle. The battle is not even close to being over. He has to fight the urge to contact the 'whack job'. But he has done well for the past few days.
It was at the point when I was done when things began turning around. This is a complete shock because the day before he came home, he was still saying D because he just couldn't forgive himself. He didn't want a D but thought that it was the best thing.
Just keep praying for us. We have such a long way to go. It is almost like we are dating again. No real touching or intimacy. Don't want to rush into anything. Also, I think he is still testing the waters to see if the changes I have made are real.
