H coming today, what do I do when he asks how I am

[MaxP]

Morgan, I think you handled this very well, *really* well. You were calm and set your boundaries. As NikkiB says, it is up to your H to handle himself and how he feels. You can't change this directly. He seems pretty confused from his reaction. He is angry, but probably at himself more than anything. You on the other hand sound like you are on a strong path and doing really well with it too.

We all want our WAS to change and come back to us, but we have to concentrate on ourselves first and hope that they join the dots themselves. We cannot expect them to come back though, only hope. As has often been said, either way we will move on as a stronger, happier, more self aware and satisfied individual. Whether that is with them, someone else or just ourselves, who knows? But we will be in a better place than we are now.
