Hi all,<BR> I't been a week since I confronted him and he denied more that friendship. We haven't seen each other much since then because of work, but I've tried to plan A. I know he went out after work 3 times this week, but I was able to make peace with myself over it. Then last night we were both home, did some casual talking about our week and when we got in bed, he put out his arm so I could snuggle against his side! It may seem small, but after about 3 months of him just laying like a board when I touched him it felt soooo good! It gave me hope and maybe I will be able to continue with plan A without feeling so worthless about myself. Lora

I feel so happy for you.<P>I gave my H the cold shoulder last night. He has continually tried to show me affection since immediately after I found out. Most of the time I'm receptive, but sometimes I'm not. Last night I wasn't and I feel bad about it. It puts him in a tough situation. He knows I feel manipulated by him, he also knows if he keeps trying I will eventually soften up, but then feel manipulated. Emotions can make us so mean sometimes.

God only knows and so does my wife. I used to lay there beside her also. Give her the cold shoulder when she wanted to snuggle. Look where it eventually got us. Now I hold her every night before we go to sleep and again when we wake up. I hope the connection we have made since all of this has happened will be here forever. Hug them every chance you can.<P>"It's the little things that mean so much!"
