Hi everyone,

I just wanted you to know that I've been doing Plan A intensively the past 5 days or so, and I really think its helping. A week ago, my H was ready to walk out the door and leave. My first instinct was to plead with him to give our marriage a chance. That was backfiring. After a lot of helpful advice from everyone, I worked hard at doing Plan A. Some may think its hard to always be so positive and caring when sometimes you are so hurt and angry. But do you know what? I actually felt good doing nice things. The more I implemented the plan, the better my interactions became with my H. The positivity was contagious.

We had a great weekend. A lot of positive talks, no angry outbursts etc. We even were able to be intimate. It was incredible and wonderful.

A week ago, I think he couldn't wait for his 3 wk. business trip so he could get away from our situation. Today he left, I think, with the feeling that maybe our marriage can be saved. I hope and pray that he does.

A week ago, I felt my life was crumbling and he was gone no matter what. I thought that when he returned from his trip, he would be packing his bags and moving out. I was devastated and without hope. Now, after 5 days or so of Plan A, I think he may return and reconsider our separation.

Oh, and WAT and Melody, he loved the card and photo of us I put in his suitcase.

I will update you all again when he returns. Please pray for us.

Good job, NID!!! I am so happy to see you so hopeful now. And God Bless you for having the strength to overcome your feelings of despair. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Now you have given him something to think about while he is on his trip. Keep this up and pretty soon the OW, who doesn't have the benefit of MB, will start lovebusting and you will just look better and better.

Very good, NID!
