DH = Darling (or Dear) Husband.

If the couple reconciles uses the MB principles, this is often the net result.

"Dear Husband" indicates that she no longer thinks of him as a "WH" or even "FWH." I've been known to use that nomenclature myself. My H is just my DH now.

That's what a good dose of recovery will do...

TOS = Terms of Service

It's standard online forumspeak.

That post really belongs on your own thread. This thread is for spelling out acronyms, not really for discussing personal cases.

Depends on the context. Used the way you've given it, "R" refers to "Relationship."

It can also refer to "Recovery," as in "my spouse and I want to R the M."

Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.
