I'm sure everyone's going to be posting their updates after being away for so long. So I'll try to be brief. I missed everyone!!! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]<P>Well, H has taken 180 degree turn. Wants to move out again - to be "alone" - to figure himself out. He's probably going to move out this weekend. I do know that contact with OW continues - although I don't know to what extent exactly. I know he was over there some this weekend... sigh.....<P>We called in to Steve H. on Monday. He is wonderful!!!! I HIGHLY recommend everyone making an appointment with him - it's WELL worth the money. [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] H did NOT want to call - even though last week he was all gung ho and promised to call in with me. So I asked him to keep his promise. Well, they talked for a long time [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img], and H is going to call again tomorrow (Friday). I'm telling ya, Steve is amazing if he got H to agree to that!<P>I'll post my free-bee Steve pointers later, but basically, he acknowledged my H's desire to be "happy", and didn't push him to "stay married", and encouraged me to keep on Plan A'ing - mainly avoiding LB's at ALL COSTS.<P>I'm doing fine. My energy level is good - I realize this is his waffling time, and I can only control my behavior and attitude.<P>That's it in a nutshell.

You've had so much faith for so long...just hang tight...<P>I'm glad he talked to Steve and I will pray that he continues...<P>Cherish the time you've had together and make the most of any time you get...<P>If our own hearts and minds can be so changed, why not that of our spouses? God can and will, in His time...<P>Love,<BR>Cali

You sound pretty upbeat. That's wonderful! (with all things considered).<P>I was turning on icq periodically to see if you were there and wanted to chat. Obviously you've been pretty busy this past week! <P>Keep your chin up hon! You are so strong now. Never lose that inner strength.<P>Karen

Faith1,<BR>I'm praying that your H will soon stop his waffling and decide that he needs only YOU in his life. You have a very strong faith that the Lord knows the plans he has for you. I try so hard to have that same faith every day. You will be so much stronger in your faith at the end of all of this, whatever happens. I KNOW God wants your marriage. I think part of his plan is to teach ALL of us the patience to wait on him. I will pray for you and your H.
