Hi Mentors,
My H wants to come home.
His depression has sucked the joy out of any fun with OW.
He is not earning much money, and is misrable.
No remorse, just very worried, stressed out and tired.
I have said I do not consider this a reconciliation, and need some time to think about this.

I am moving to a beautiful town about an hour away, and he wants to come with me.
He wants to "get away from here".
Trying to relocate to escape himself?
I think OW has given him an ultimatum to start earning or go....
He mentioned , if I don't have a roof over my head, then nor does he.
I don't trust him, but I could use this as an opportunity to let the mlc play out while he remains "at home".
I think I read there was more chance of reconcilliation if the mlc remained at home.... I may be wrong.

So I need a bit of help establishing a few ground rules.
Any advice would be helpful.

Just had BD #?  I've lost track of the number.  I haven't posted in a while and could use some insight on my thread.  Thanks!

The very purpose of our life is happiness, which is sustained by hope. We have no guarantee about the future, but we exist in the hope of something better. Hope means keeping going, thinking, ‘I can do this.’ It brings inner strength, self-confidence, the ability to do what you do honestly, truthfully and transparently.  The Dalai Lama

Just reread postings about cake eating and reconnection on Panda's link and now I think I may have rolled up the welcome mat. Wondering if I should extend an olive branch.
Thanks for any insight.

I know you were starting a "new" list for mentors when I started on the forum. I hadn't heard anything yet, so I'm just checking to be sure I hadn't fallen through the cracks.

THANKS!

“It’s not the weight you carry
but how you carry it -
books, bricks, grief -
it’s all in the way
you embrace it, balance it, carry it
when you cannot, and would not,
put it down.”
So I went practicing.

from the complications of loving you i think there is no end or return. no answer, no coming out of it. which is the only way to love, isn't it? this isn't a playground, this is earth, our heaven, for a while. therefore i have given precedence to all my sudden, sullen, dark moods that hold you in the center of my world. and i say to my body: grow thinner still. and i say to my fingers, type me a pretty song. and i say to my heart: rave on.

Ukusa, I checked and you are on the list. The amount of newbies compared to the amount of mentors is huge. We will get you in.
