bethn,<P>Hi, I'm so so sorry you are going through this.<P>Why is he avoiding contact with you ? Simple, guilt , he feels guilty for what he is doing, but will never admit it. Also if they keep thier distance they don't have to think about what they could be losing.<P>Don't push him. The more we push, the more they run ! Yes you can write him notes, just not begging notes. No please please come back stuff. Just keep it light and always end it with I love you. <P>I'd say you handled the leaving part well, when my h left me, I was horrible, I cried, I begged, I pleaded ect. Didn't do a bit of good. He lived with ow for 1 1/2 years. It wasn't until I stoped chasing him that he started to realise he missed me. With in two weeks of moving in with her he knew he had done wrong, made a bad mistake, but his pride wouldn't let him come home, besides he felt responsible for her (grrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhh).<P>If you pray, pray alot, find scripture about marriage, remind yourself that God hates divorce, not divorced people but the seperation of what He has put together.<P>I know this is hard, I do remember ! H and I have been back together for 13 years now, it hasn't always been easy and the reason I am here is because he cheated again (didn't leave) almost 2 years ago. You can do this, Hang on, refuse to give up until and unless God gives you peace in your heart about letting go. Untill that day dig in and keep loving him .<P>------------------<BR>Just call me - Deb<BR>------------------------<BR>The only day I can do anything about is today, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not yet mine.<P>
