Whereabouts in Europe did u go? U know I haven't visited much of Europe or England. Life has been just so hectic that there wasn't time to explore.

Lori's story is a classic here. There is lots of hope. Affairs always end, and your chances of having hubby back are very good. You just need to get through this.

Hi B
I am going to try harder. I am going to try to b more positive. I am going to b the best i can be. I have been reading a lot this weekend and his behavior is classic WS behaviour. I can see a recurring pattern.
I am going to withdraw the divorce papers at the first opportunity and I am going to b nice even when he is horrid to me. I let myself go on Friday but not going to do that again. I am going to follow Lori's path as I can see my H being quite like her H.
I am going to come out of this a better person.

I spoke to H today, he asked about my weekend and i just made up stuff on what i did, some of it was true but i sounded happy n cheery.
I am going to drop off the coconut chocolate balls i made on the weekend, I just told him it was a surprise and that he had to wait.
Am I doingthe right things?

Hi Browneyes,,

You sound good,, you'll have good days and bad days, just don't beat yourself up on the bad ones ok?

Yes I think you dropping off the candy is a good idea, be happy and cheery, and don't let anything he says get you upset.

Good job girl! smile

Hi All

I feel rubbish now. Went n dropped the candy i made for him. He really liked them. There was a lot of awkward silence. I couldn't help feeling sad, bcos i really love him n i just cudn't believe that he wanted to throw it all away. He looked a bit sad.
He kept on asking about my health n he wanted to see my doc to get an update on me, as I had been quite ill recently.
We then spoke later on in the evening and he was a bit upset - he just found out that I had donated to his run and it was a sizeable donation. I have recently been donating to various charities and he thinks i am squandering money. He then accused me of trying to buy his love. I was very upset. I called him back n said that it's sad that he thinks i would do that. Last week he was complaining about me trying to force him to come back to me.

Brown,

REMINDER - don't LISTEN to a WORD they say... They live in a fog and talk a different language.

Remember how Mimi is teaching you about Plan A being your plan and not to EXPECT anything but poison from them. Keep doing what you want to do, let it fall where it does and IGNORE HIS WORDS....

He then said that he didn't mean it that way, and that have i not known him in the last 10 years. And i said it seems that he doesn't know me to say that. He said that it wasn't him that said that, he just lost the plot. I told him exactly none of this is him, and that is why i still love him, and that that is why i can't stop believing in him, bcos i know he is not one to do such wrong. He asked me to stop crying, i told him i love him n hung up

He just called up and apologised. He wanted me to cheer up, and that he knows i am not like that. Told me to sit n study n do good positive things.
I don't know, he is so confusing.

EXACTLY

Stop listening to him. WATCH his ACTIONS.....

Keep to your PLAN, with NO expectations.

You are doing great.

Have you sent him an ecard yet? I did that a few times. WH would respond every so often, but not ALWAYS... I didn't care it was MY PLAN...
