Riding the emotional Roller coaster. Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm not. I needed a break from thinking about all the things that are happening. I found it good to not overwhelm myself with all this. Sometimes it's just too much you know. <P>How about you, how are you doing?<P>--BJ<P>

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Dogbert:<BR><B> <BR> How is your Husband doing? <BR></B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>He seems to be doing ok. We talked and we keep talking and just trying to keep the lines of communication open. After telling him about my struggles, I have noticed him trying to be more caring and compassionate towards me. Admitting to his mistakes and such. He seems to be more affectionate, which in turn makes it a little easier for me to show him affection. As far as recovery for him, he tells me he's staying away and has not (since I confessed my thoughts of separation) chatted with anyone. I know there's threat of withrowals and I will understand there's a chance of that happening. I have faith in him and I believe he does love me. I think I'm at a level where I just really want to get through this. So whatever else I need to go through, I will have to keep in mind that I need to be supportive towards him to help him through what he has to go through.<P>I had a breakdown the other day (major LB). I could not help myself. I was wollowing in the past and could not keep it to myself. I cried in front of him (showing him sadness - really bad...) I know that's only going to set us back in our progress, but I was out of control. Feelings of anger came over me again. Regressing... I think I was too consumed with recovery and trying to get it fixed - sort of speak. I could not handle the disappointment of being in this situation in the first place. Tough to deal with, YES, VERY... Do I want to go through the tough times to gain the better times, YES, MOST DEFINITELY..... Food for thought...<P>--BJ<P>P.S.<P>Have you heard from Cindi lately? How is she progressing?<p>[This message has been edited by 2Bornot2B (edited November 17, 2000).]

Hello all. I am still here, and I have been reading your posts. I am doing good. Probably because my H has been to busy to get into trouble. We have both been so busy that we haven't had time to really think about the issues which, as far as I am concerned, are still there. Part of it is trying to have some sort of trust. Sometimes I feel like I am just waiting for it to happen again.<BR> <P>
