I was trying to be positive with you.

I sincerely think you should feel encouraged.

My H surely never told me he loved me until WAAAAY after breaking it off with OW....

Love, remember the CONTROL issue...you can only control yourself anyways..all you can do is to work on yourself...

I know Mimi and I appreciate it..Thank you...I know I cannot control what he does...all of this makes me suspicious and I hate being and feeling that way.

This is true in so many parts of life. You can only control yourself. You can only work on yourself. Remember that. It is important at work, church, the gym. It is important when driving. It is important when parenting. It is important when dealing with your parents.

Thanks Cinderella..Believer, I am getting ready to start another job that pays well so I will be able to help out a great deal w/ finances, I am still going to church and the gym, I am still in IC, and I am not being desperate, needy, or clingy...And everytime we talk on the phone, I am always upbeat, supportive, positive and loving.

What do you mean?

He feels like there's too much communication with you?

So isn't it reasonable to express compassion and understanding regarding the stress he is under over there?
