Our internet connection was cut yesterday. therefore I could not continue writing .The things I wrote below should have been here yesterday. Please read my previous and this posts together.

During our conversation, my husband told me that he wants her ex-wife(ex-me) back because he is still in love with her and only that woman used to belong to him. Addition to this he loves me(me after A) but he is not in love with me right now.I do believe that. Because his behaviours when I was very sick were evidences. I had a food poisioning last Saturday. I had nausea, diarrhea, dizziness etc. I was not very well whole day. Last Saturday was the only day that my husband was working. He owes many sick leave days to his company. I called him at 1 pm and let him know that I was not feel well and I was vomiting and my blood tension lowered and I could not get up for 15 min on the floor of our bathroom and I would go to bed. He did not offer to come and take me to the hospital. I felt myself like I was acting as Rex(Bree`s husband) in Desperate Housewifes. Does anybody remember the last season final in which Rex was dead? Around 6 pm my sympthoms were getting severe and I called my husband again and I want him to come and take me to hospital. He came 1 hour later and called me when he was parking the car and ask me if I could come to downstairs. I could not even get up from my bed because I was feeling cold and having stomach ache he was asking me to come down. So you see I was similar to Rex. He came to upstairs and got me dressed and brought to the hospital finally.
When he was about to catch a cold, he accused me not paying him enough attention even though I asked what he wanted and I offered hım to get some pills. He prefered to go to bed. I went to bed 1 hour later because I had to complete a commetee report till next day morning. As far as I was awake, I was rolling him with my arms to make him warm.

If we look back to Sunday evening , the argument between my H and my mom was getting severe and my mom kept asking to change the deed, and then my H burst out .He told my mom that he will never talk to her again forever. My mom told the same thing to my H. I would not expect my mom to be so calm. She took her luggage and then she left home. I went after her but she was so sure to leave the home. So, I let her go. I do know one reality that my mom believes I did try to make this marriage work. This makes me a little comfortable. When I came back to our apartment my husband was also ready to leave. He was putting some shirts into a small bag. I told him that today will be cold and take warm sweaters. Then he left and told me that not to be sick.
I was alone in a place that I would have a good life. I had nothing, just me and empty apartment.

Hi. Smur,

``Learn how to communicate and how to not react emotionally. Your husband has been destroyed. You are probably blaming it on the condition of the marriage. He probably feels right now as if he has done nothing right. And in his hurt he may lash out at you, he may hurt you. This is not acceptable, but do not react in emotion. Remember he is acting out of hurt.``

My husband does not blame himself. According to him, he has always done the right things. I do belive he has hurt and this causes his destroying reactions.
I have read Dorry`s letter for WW. I am thinking I am at the 8 number. I have done 1-7 and may be 10. So only 8 and 9 left. I am going to fill the Emotional needs questionaire today and I will want him to do the same.
After our serious argument happened last Sunday. He told me one nice sentences from MB posts. It says `If you want someone or something belongs to you, let him go and see if he comes back. I told him the same ``you are free and it is going to be your decision to go or come back and continue``.
I have been trying to work on myself but he told me that the things I have been doing are not enough. You can read my last posts what I did. Tuesday night, we made a written agreement. I requested my husband to accept these conditions:
1- Whenver he bursts out, it destrys me very much. I do not say he does not have right. But I want him to decrease the severity by playing a game ,walking etc.
2-He will never use word of A or talk about it or ask about it
After he sign these conditions, I decided to sleep at the same bed.

I really appreciate if you could read and write your opinion.

How should I continue right now? What steps should be next?
