There is nothing wrong with all of your feelings. LOL at 45 minutes being enough time, you should double book for this week. ;\)

1) Even if H's feelings turn completely around, yours will take longer. I know what you mean. Of course you want it all!

2) I feel the way you do. H had the A (his actions and loss of control), but I very much let our M go, a lot of it at least. Nothing wrong with eventually telling H this. I bet it comes up during Ret weekend.

3) I do the same thing, trying to solve problems for H. Even little ones, but sometimes I end up in the way, or frustrating him. For example, I work all day Sunday and he makes a big Sunday dinner. I rush home, and try to help (by making salad, blah blah blah). Instead of him appreciating it, I was (in his eyes) in the way of him trying to do something nice for me, something he was completely capable of. Now I try to sit back and let him do things for himself. If he is frustrated with something, I step back and give him room.

4) Oh man, I know!!! I haven't read that book, but I know what you mean about not knowing how to show your love. H feels I abandoned him, by not supporting him this year. I have no idea how I did this, but I realized when I tried to help him, it wasn't the help he was needing. So he sees it as not helping him at all.

Now I am rambling. LOL
