UPDATE for all of my MB friends. My husband is moving back home today. YIPEE!<p>After seven long months of separation, we are now going to start on to our recovery together. For those of you who don’t know my story, here is a quick background. There is NO infidelity in our marriage, we were at a point where we just could not agree on anything and were constantly fighting about anything and everything. My husband also has a lot of issues from childhood that he suppressed so long that they finally came up and he needed to deal with them. There were things that I could not help him with. It wasn’t until my husband said that he was moving out that I was able to see a lot of the mistakes that I was making in the marriage that I needed to change. I was partly responsible for my husband becoming emotionally drained and it really hurt me to know that I hurt one of the people I truly love so much. While I was not happy with the separation and the kids were devastated, I believe it was the best thing for us. Yes, we had the horrible rollercoaster rides with great progress forward and a lot of backsliding. We have both changed and grown during this separation and I really believe we are going to make it work. We have developed a greater respect for each other and are now more in tune with each other’s needs and we are really learning how to communicate with each other. My husband is still in individual counseling, which has helped him and us immensely. We will start marriage counseling as soon as his counselor says he is ready.<p>I could not have become the person I am becoming without all the great support and help from all of you wonderful people here on this sight and the MB principles. I know we have a long road ahead of us but I really think we are going to make it. I do know that the rollercoaster ride isn’t going to stop right away and we still have so much learning and growing to do.<p>I am still going to really need all of your support and prayers to help us through to a successful recovery.<p>Thanks again to all and I will keep you updated.<p>Michele
