Quoting jethro:

Charcoal, like you, my W has a jounal that she writes in quite frequently. I can tell when she gets stressed because she goes back to the journal. At this point, I kind of take it as a sign to back off.







...I went out last Sunday to a Diner, took my journals, took my DB and my "He's Scared, She's Scared" books - I actually have two journals, one's for poetry, the other is for the R stuff. I sat down and wrote a poem ~ a dreadfully negative thing.... then I focused on my DB book, and my entry in the R journal was much more positive. I showed H my entry... which I'll post in my "H is Driving WAW Crazy" thread...
...Anyway, I like being able to show H some of the things I'm thinking... but still, H backing off and letting me work on me is crucial at this point in our R....
