Fran,

"I know I'm not a doormat and I just think well I'm not that controlling wife anymore and if you want to be like that with your H then just go ahead and see where it gets you."

What you said is soo true! I've always heard "marriage is hard work" I never thought that was true until the bomb hit. Now, we all know how true that statement is. You are doing a great job and will be rewarded for it. I bet your H is so thankful you did not give him a hard time.

Once, when I asked H what made him feel close to me he said, "giving him space and letting him do the things he wants to do." nik
