hi seiceps,,,ditto the above replies really,,its iddy biddy steps,,take your time,,after all,"rome wasnt built in a day hunny",,and beleive me,,i was in similar situation,,my hubby had just had enough of ten yrs of me,,my kids hated me,,even my lil dog!!!!
so,,i quit,,i REALLY wanted to this time,,thats the difference for me,,not just needed to.
maybe this time apart will help yr love grow,,absence makes the heart,,,and all that ,,,,,
im a big beleiver in "space",,,so look at it positivley,,,seems like u could both do wiv some "time out",,to discover what u both need/want,,then u can build on that,,a new start , a new you,,a new life.
hang in there hunny,,it really does get better each day,,remember all you learnt on that buddhist retreat,,(lucky thing,,id love to go to one of them),,,,so, draw on that experience,,and take it one step at a time,,,we cant run before we can walk .
good luck hun,,,and keep in touch,,we are all here for u,,so visit each day ,,big hugs xx lv cleo xxxxxxxxx
