Hi Shine.

I completely understand your needing time, and I think you need to take whatever time is necessary for your needs.

What I might suggest is giving some thought to some structured time with your husband, perhaps in a situation like marriage counseling. My husband and I did this when he was in early recovery, and it was actually beneficial to us as a couple, but also it helped each of us individually. It brings out things that are directly related to each of us, and causes us to look within... figure things out.. in our case it made me realize things about myself that I wasnt truly aware of. But then I could dig into them and I found it led to other issues I was already aware of within myself... if that makes sense

It is also a good way to gage your partners recovery, their mindset and get an idea of how it would work out when your living together again.

Anyway just a thought, if not for now.. maybe for later..
