Hope2wrkitout-

I love your analogy about your expectations! So true.

One thing struck me about your post- being exhausted being the only one to put in effort. Re-read the see saw analogy- if a relationships is a see saw, the harder one person works the less the other one has to. Remember the "do nothing" approach that is part of DB- you may need to do nothing to get your H to start thinking about the R. The more you think/act/work/worry, the less he has to.

Easier said than done, I know. I've had a rough couple of days myself- H told me last night that he wants a D b/c "it would be a big sign that he has the ability to change his life and is tired of always making the best, most efficient decision." Still says he loves me, still says he wants me in his life, but wants a D to prove that he can make a decision. Brilliant. (And this was on top of sick preemie infants, a trip to the ER, plumbing backup, broken stove, etc.).

Sounds like we've all had a hard weekend. Here's to a MUCH better week!
