i took a little trip to get away from AH and the insanity for a few days. day one was fantastic. day 2, less so. i was anxious and kept thinking how happy HE must be that i'm not there, how he's probably LOVING being without me for a few days. trying SO hard not to attempt to get into his head but...
days 3-5: i'm sick. i came down with something awful and have been bedridden. add to that the anxiety i feel about what AH is doing when i'm not there.
i feel like we're living in limbo: he makes halfhearted attempts at sobriety, i work my al anon program and we cry. i feel like he is testing me now... pushing his behavior (he didn't even come home from a bender the night before i left for LA - he knew he wouldn't be seeing me for a week). before the bomb dropped on our marriage, he would NEVER stay out all night on a bender. now he's not calling, not texting nothing... just saying "sorry, i'm an a######" the next day.
i'm still wrestling with the insanity. i'm still trying to control it. hopefully the woman i would like to be my sponsor is at the f2f meeting on wednesday. i really need one.
