{{{{SING}}}} God's there, just waiting for you to knock on his door!!! I'll pray that you'll see that and turn back to him.....<p>As for me, after thinking about things for a couple of days, I just called my H and said that the only thing I could agree to right now was not filing the divorce right away. I told him that as long as OW was in his life, I couldn't be. I told him that if his reasons for our conversation Saturday were out of love, then he'd be able to tell OW that, and end the relationship now. The fact is, I believe his words are coming out of a sense of loss; loss of his comfort zone, loss of the familiarity that we've had. I told him that he needed to grieve the loss of me to figure out if what he's feeling for me is love or any other emotion. He said he is grieving; I pointed out to him what I'd told him last summer about the fact that the only way he could get through the withdrawal from OW was to STOP TALKING TO HER. I told him he needed to do that with me as well; I told him that every time he talks to me, his withdrawal from me starts all over again.<p>Basically, I said "If she's in your life, I'm not. Go away and take the time to figure it out; without my help..."<p>
Prayers to you SING!!!<p>MOM

MoM,<p>Are you proud of yourself or what? You didn't take the crumbs your WH was throwing out to you. I know how hard this is do, I never could do it but STBX never wanted me, just a good relationship with the boys.<p>lots of cheering down here in H-town for you. You stood your ground girl. <p>I am hoping/praying that your WH will see what he is losing. But no matter what YOU will be fine, it is his lost.

MoM,<p>Your response to your H is so impressive! IMO, this is proof of the healing that has occurred for you. Seems like a MB classic to me. I will pray for wisdom for your H, that he makes the best choice, and that your M is healed like you are being healed. <p>Take care,
Estes
