That is why in the beginning of me finding out about my H's OW I was trying to find out things my H was complaining about b/c he wouldn't open up to me at all. At first ( not so much anymore) when he use to compare us and was all about the negatives fo me, I told him that Ow had a huge advantage on me b/c she was able to hear about all my faults and had one up on me to make sure she did not do the same!! I uped my game and started all kinds of new recipes. Every week I tried a new one & H(before I kicked him out) was coming home evryday & asking what was new on the menu. Cooking was never alove for me,but since then I haev learned to enjoy it better, so much that H bought me a Rachel Ray cook book for mother's day!! He use to never care enough for that holiday!! I don't know if you haev litlle tiny ones, but I have 3 girls under the age of 10yrs & it is hard to keep their room spotless. H biggest pet peave when he would get home from work. Since then I try harder to keep their room clean whenever he coming around.
The last few months ago he would come by & question if I was having "my BF" come by b/c the house was always so clean....
