I am willing to accept help/advice from anyone willing to give. Here is my story in a nutshell:<BR> My hubby and I have been separated for almost 2 yrs. We tried to reconcile, but during a time that he was out of the country. I agreed, but only to work something out when he returned. During this time, he conceived a child with the individual who split us up and whom he is now living with. I haven't talked to him in about 4 months, and I have being wanting to reconcile. The problem comes in because I am now 5 months pregnant by someone else, and I have been contemplating getting in touch with him because I don't know if I should even make that attempt to let him know how I feel. Reason being, (1)fear of rejection, (2)him actually wanting to come back (3)dealing with the afterwards. (his child's mom, my child's father). We are legally still married, and he has been sending me money every month since we've been separated. Any suggestions on where to go from here?<BR>

Hey G2F,<P> Whew!<P><BR> My only advice for you is to be completely open, and painfully honest.<P> Yes, you will leave yourself open for tons of pain. But complete and total honesty is vital to a good marriage, start now.<P> God bless you,<P>------------------<BR>Gregg

Gone, <BR>Ditto Lynton. Honesty has to be the foundation. As for whether or not to try and face rejection from your H, how will you feel if you never did? You'll never know if you don't try. If it doesn't work, you can mourn your marriage and move on with a clearer heart. If it does result in him wanting to try too, you have lots of great resources and support on these boards to help you guys through it!<P>good luck and welcome to the board!<BR>J
