I have read your thread and I think you are doing great. You are not failig at all! You should have seen and heard me during the first 2 months.
My husband has also mentioned my neediness and that the burden of keeping me happy was to heavy for him. So, I've told him that I don't NEED him, I WANT him, there is a difference. Wrong again. Shortly after that he said that the OW needs him and I don't. Meaning, it's ok for HER to need him, but not for me. Go figure!
They are so confused that we start losing it too. You cannot avoid the backslides and you should be as kind and understanding with yourself as you are trying to be with your H. When you backslide, just say to yourself, oh well, I will do better next time. And you will too!

I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders ____________________________________________________ M 46 H 45 D 17 M/T 23 Bomb #1 (ILYBNILWY) 12.06 Bomb #2 (OW) 12.07 Bomb #3 (chose OW over M) 9.08
