Kett, You are right that I do get frustrated/disappointed in my H for what I consider ADDH type behavior, while he feels the same way about me for depressive/introvertive behavior. Too bad our kids didn't get the best of both of us; instead one is like him, and one is like me.

Coming here and journaling really makes me see how much negativity I am carrying. I know he is working on the marriage, more so than he has ever done in the past. I am going to do my best to look at him through a clean filter and try to see this as a new relationship.

As far as the sex goes, it is a good idea to get some more banter going on my part; you know, bring out my monkey, which is sleeping somewhere in the corner. I did go from calling him a sugar plum in a TM today to a sexy beast. We'll see how that goes over.

The break has been really nice. I am ready for him to come home now, to work on this again, and hopefully have some fun too.

Thanks for checking in!
