Yes, I think a good friend called this the honeymoon stage of recovery? (or something similar) I agree with you. I am trying to prepare myself for some ugly bumps to come. In fact, one of those bumps came up just yesterday. When we were out last night having the best time in 1 1/2 years, I felt some reluctance on his part to reach out to me. I asked him about it, and he admitted that he was just scared to get hurt again. I don't blame him. I just felt sad and guilty for what I've done to make him this way. I do know that it will take a long while for all wounds to heal, but I'm willing to be patient. At this time, I really have no inclination to contact the OM. And, if I do, I'll be sure to post or do whatever it takes to take my mind of. Having my MB friends will help tremendously ... esp. if I can get forewarnings like this. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm so excited that my H is willing to go to MC with me. I'm hoping that it will help both of us past our ups 'n downs.

Thanks, Rose.

In fact, he was waiting for me at my townhouse last night when I got home from my group therapy, and we hugged, cried and talked all night. We’ve not done that for nearly 3 years. It felt great.

That's insperation to my heart.
