Hi True, Things are going well this week, other than I am fighting off severe allergies. Who knew you could grow so many plants in Nevada... Glad to hear you are having better days. My H is still reading "The Point Man" and we continue to talk about each chapter. Say hello to Dogmom (and how is she?). I will look for you soon...

Hey All! No I'm not dead. Holiday- we know what kind of plants they grow in Nevada. Be careful! 2- is your sep helping you deal with your emotions? DogMom- So you ARE still around! True- Husbands can be real dense sometimes! I are one.
Much of my emotional progress has slowed down. My W senses it. Hard to get motivated. I feel like moving forward equates to forgetting and not addressing her past A. Weird how when the worst thing that could happen in marriage happens, we the BS's, gotta just suck it up, tighten our belts and move on.

Holiday, Glad to hear things are good! Yes, those allergies are a killer! I hate them. When I lived in Utah, I didn't have as many problems. Now they are back! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Rocked, Sorry to hear about your emotional shifting. We're here for you! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> Mood today isn't as good as yesterday, but I do have a date with the ol' man tonight. The first time in 9 years we have had a babysitter, except family!!! Well, better go start getting ready. I want to look semi decent! And that takes some time!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> True!

Hey Guys,
Back home after a week. It did me a lot of good. I hope to be here for good, but am not opposed to leaving again if I feel the need. It was very helpful to be away from him.
Yesterday we had an all day date for my birthday tomorrow, and we had a great time. I held my tongue the couple of times I felt like making a nasty comment. My husband did a nice job of showering me with attention and affection.
I hope that I can stay on a path of stability. Since my return home (and during the seperation) I haven't been angry or even sad. I've felt hopeful for the first time in a long while.
Anyway, thanks for your prayers. I'm glad everyone is doing OK. 2

2, I am so glad to hear that you feel better, and I hope that it lasts for you! I sometimes have this fantasy that I will wake up and this will all be wiped away from my memory. Wouldn't that be nice? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> Anyway, I hope all is well with everyone else. Things here have been "normal". You know the rollercoaster is still rollin', and I look forward to the day when it at least pulls into the station, and takes a break! Well, have a super night.
True

2, True...glad to hear you are both doing okay. I still have what I call "empty days". Do you know what I mean? Those are the days I really have to push myself.
My H is still reading his book (Point Man). He read a chapter yesterday that told him we should all read a section of the bible each day which will take 365 days to complete. The author states how difficult that is as Satan constantly distracts us in our daily life to read it.
I hope we all continue to heal. I will check on you all soon.

Hey All....I am sorry yet happy that I have not seen any of you here. I HOPE that means you are all doing well. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> As for me, I am doing fine. Have those normal ups and downs, but on the whole am good. We hit our three month mark on Sat. I had told him that I would not decided if I was staying or going before that day, so it was a big day. Although, I still didn't give him the committment I was orginally planning...but hope to soon. Anyway, check in ONCE and awhile..either here or email, so that I know you are all ok.
