I know how you feel. My h has his own apt and when he's hanging out here, I sometimes feel like I wish he would just go. I mean, I don't get to go to his place and just hang out whenever I feel like it!

You did a good job at keeping calm during the plane delay. Good for you! You're making positive changes, and H may not see tha yet, but he will.

Me too. Are you initiating the R talks? I know you are trying to show him that you can share more with him, but is there a way to do that w/out starting R talks? Talk about the kids, family or other emotional topics instead?

If he's having an emotional connection with another woman, I'm not sure if this is the time for you to try to get him to have an emotional connection with you. I'm not sure if I'm saying this right, but try to change yourself FOR YOU. If you start developing emotional connections with others, it should spill into your other relationships, including w/H. I hope that makes sense.
