My husband moved out 2 years ago to live with another woman. Since then he had moved out of her house and in with his uncle. He is now serving 2 years in prison on some drug charges. He spent a majority of the time before he went in with me including his last night out. He has told me that he is still talking to her because he still has stuff in her storage building which is locked and cannot be emptied until the past due rent is paid. He tells me that he loves me and that he wants to work on our problems. I feel that I should wait until he gets out to make any major decisions but then again I don't want to look like a fool for doing so if he goes back to her. He doesn't always give me the emotional support and reassurrance that I need so bad but I don't know if it's just because of where he is at having to deal with his emotions of being incarcerated or is he just playing games with me. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Should I wait?

I would wait until he got out to make any decisions. You can still work on having a nice life.

Do you have children together?

Is this his first brush with drugs and prison?

We have 2 beautiful daughters together, 10 and 7. This is his first time in prison, he went in on 10-31-05 and has a parole hearing date in May. We both did and sold drugs together for a majority of the past 7 years. I went to rehab last May and for the most part have stayed off everything.
I just talked to him on the phone and asked him what he wanted. He said that he didn't know. My heart tells me to wait and that if I pray hard enough and believe enough that he will do the right thing. Am I being a fool?

Good for you - going to rehab. One of the big problems with drugs in the chance of going to prison.

I think I would wait until he is SURE what he wants. He can change and be a good husband, but you know that he has to make that decision.
