since I have made my decision to just separate and see where in the far future that takes us I am interested in doing some reading. I see many books in the bookstore section. I want to read about the love bank and love busters and surviving infidelity, etc. What books should I get that cover these areas? mlhb

Separate?
Did you stop the divorce papers you filed? Did he get served?
What about "I have filed for divorce and he will be served in a few weeks when the papers are done." in your previous post?
Separation is almost always detrimental to the marriage, especially when there is no set plan in place as to what the separation is actually for and what will take place.
Prayers & God Bless!

I agree with Chris...any book by the Harley's I would recommend..easy reads and lots of info...After the Affair is a good one...Torn Asunders, Not just Friends is an excellent one...I can name about 25 more, but would have to go thru my stack of books next to my bed and I am trying to move beyond that part of my life now! good luck!

My H and I have been doing a lot of talking and the D papers hadn't even been drawn up yet. For more on our talk and what I am currently dealing with please see my post on the EMOTIONS board called MY HUSBAND NEEDS HELP BUT REFUSES IT. Decided on sep. for now but after our talking that may change too. mlhb
