Bob,

Something in your post to my other thread struck me....you said:

Quote
you really think WH wins if you give up recovering your marriage for good ?

Releasing him without any chance of putting right his sins to wallow in his iniquity ? A Dog returning to its vomit, a washe dpig once again rolling in he mud?

You serve HIM best as your serve YOURSELF by using every tactic to recommit him to your M long enough for withdrwal to complete.


Is that what you think this latest activity is with my husband? Withdrawl? I ask you because I know you know.

I don't know your situation, and I don't mean to use your post in a distracting manner, but I'm so glad you posted this, because Bob's words are INCREDIBLE to me! In roundabout fashion, Caren has exposed me to something very powerful that I had not discovered and I thank you for that
Good luck in YOUR search and endeavors

Caren

I only know what I observed in my Squid, who went through a particularly spiteful wihdrawal.
ENtitled behaviour, attacks on me and even the kids followed, with bouts of crying and drinking far too much.

Verbal attacks were out of spite not fog. LOTS of independent behaviour etc etc.

I can project this onto a man and see withdrawal-type behaviour in your WH. That no guarantee though of course.

Its a horrible time for you Caren.

All blessings

I'm not asking you to read the future...although that would be cool...LOL.

I just hadn't thought of it that way, and I respect your opinion.
