Well let me put it another way. Do you want to save the marriage?

Of coarse but I would not go about this way. All the time and space is doing for me is giving me time to think about everything that was wrong. We know what is wrong - start working on correcting those behaviors. I even agree to stay separated but I do not get how not communicating helps things. I do not understan how he is the only who gets to make decisions

Also I still have stuff there at the apartment, I got all he had ready for me today. But still some more to go as he goes through the office - he is looking for title to the car which he is supposed to sign over to me,

I have read a good portion of the book, was frustrated in some ways because it seemed like nothing was about what to do once already separated, living separately, but I got their. I am trying, I really am, as committed as ever to trying this. Just wish he was reading this , I have divorce remedy and divorce busting.

She's 13 years old isn't she? What is the agreement with your H? Did she make the plans without consulting you?

do I ask him to say something to her? He is allowing her to avoid the whole situation by using this time and space thing he is using.

Is it too much to ask for her to spend a few hours for a family dinner on a sunday?

How do I go about this without going back on my no contact -

HELP!!
