Where do you get the strength and stamina to make it through withdrawal?

My H ended his affair August 30th so it hasn't been that long. I started really devoting all my energy into our marriage about 5 months ago when I sensed problems but didn't know about the OW. Now I find myself running out of steam. I feel like a hollow shell, a wet dishrag, an overcooked spaghetti noodle. My H was always the one to give me strength and support historically, but is not in love anymore and boy, can I tell the difference. He's just not there for me. I've relied alot on friends and family, but it doesn't seem to fill the void as well anymore. I know I'm what's keeping our marriage together and I do NOT want to give up. The OW lives locally and is very much available, which makes it all that much scarier for me. Any words of wisdom? Please help!! Jenn<P>------------------<BR>

j, sounds like you've got to pace yourself better. concentrate a little on filling his love bank and a little more on yourself. this withdrawal thing can take months so think in the long term.<BR>good luck!
