You may be on moderation now, post in small frequent replies and stay on this thread until you reach 100 posts (for your thread, you can also post on other peoples threads to give support). Especially on this Newcomers forum, where the posting activity is very active, and your posts can quickly fall to the bottom of the page or even several pages down. Keep journaling and asking questions - people will come! Most important - POST!
Get out and Get a Life (GAL). DETACH.
Believe none of what he or she says and half of what he/she does.
Have NO EXPECTATIONS.
Take care of yourself, breathe, eat, sleep, exercise.
Take the parts of this advice that you need and don't worry if I have repeated something that you have already done.
Here are a few links to threads that will help you immensely:
The wayward wife thread has been super insightful, and actually is quite applicable. Reading through those items though, they're rough.
"Immediately separate the sleeping arrangements" One of my short-term actionable goals to view if the marriage is progressing is that we go to bed together twice a week.
I see the point of showing the WW what losing the H looks like, but what's the consensus when that is simultaneously something that is viewed as progress in the marriage restoration? As I write this, I feel like maybe it's only restoration if the A has stopped?
Just keep POSTING and one other bit of advice from Wonka that I totally agree with.

It is important to clear the search/browsing history from your computer on a daily basis to prevent the possibility for your WAS to stumble on the DB site and discover your posts here on DB. Erasing the search history will protect your posts and you as well.
We have seen too many Marriages blow up in pieces after the WAS discovers the DB site or DR book. Why is that? It is because the WAS thinks, erroneously I might add, that you are "manipulating" them back into the M.
Keep the DR book and DB site very close to your vest.
