Did you get into counseling yet? I have seen you posting but nothing about you situation. Is it improving? Maybe I missed it somewhere.

Is no news good news or just ignoring the problem?

We aren't into counseling yet. Will we ever be??? I don't know.

We did the questionnaires but haven't gone over them yet. I read SAA and finished it over the weekend. I plan to give it to H to read but haven't done so yet. Time together alone is rare and small in time. We have lunch together for one hour every day. And then we really aren't "alone" until bed time.

I do feel like I'm putting off the inevitble. I think we need 2 more really good talks.

Thanks for asking though. Maybe this is a good prodding for me. I need it. I do really feel like being on the board and posting is great therapy for me.

Thanks and good luck to you, too.

She talks about what she feels our time together has been like, I listen. Then vice-versa. Then we talk together. Maybe you should let your H do all the talking when you have you next discussion. Just a thought.

Another prod. Don't lose your momentum! Getting into counseling will help keep it going. I hear you; post here is great. It's sort of addictive though. Hmmm...

Addictive, yes. Are we in trouble? Therapeutic, definitely. Maybe I won't need these boards as much in a couple of months, year.

On the other hand, I don't want this to happen to us again. I was just telling H last night that we need to WORK at this. The first time IT happened we talked about it, cried, etc. but neither did anything about it such as finding MB, counseling, etc. He told me it wouldn't happen again and I believed him and we went on with our busy world.

Now, however, I don't want to take our M or anything for granted. Maybe staying in touch with MB will keep me grounded to staying committed, trying, working.
