SD - have you talked to him about it? I remember that Jen was having similar feelings a few weeks ago and she finally talked with her H and it helped.
Funny, I don't come over here too much but I get the sense that you have all stayed away from the R talks so much for so long...that you are a bit scared of them. You're in Peicing. I have to think that somewhere along the lines they stop being R talks and just become communication....at least I hope so.
