well, I dont' see anything in your post that would indicate M/W syndrome. not all LDH's have m/w. But certainly, read through those threads and see if you think any of it applies.
I also don't get why NOP would say what he did. Never said that to me, and your sitch doesn't really sound much different than mine. just change the genders around. Maybe I should get a D, too (?)
well, we've made a lot of progress in recent months, because W finally "got it". This seems to me to be the key issue; they (LD spouse) don't "get it" right away. There doesn't seem to be any foolproof method of getting through...or maybe there is, and "we" don't get THAT. \/\/hatever. You gave him the book. He read it. You've told him...he says he gets it; nothing changes. I don't think he "gets" it. I think its just really really hard to understand a foreign love language. (read the book, "the five love languages" if you haven't already). We filter everything through our own point of view...our own LL...we can read the words, hear the words, repeat them back, but somehow, something just doesn't click.
I wish I had more advice for you, but as you can probably see, I don't understand it, either.
