I AM willing to listen to everything everyone says, I DO, in fact. It is all really helpful to me to me and helps me decide what I need to do in this situation, for ME. I cannot control H's reactions, or lack thereof, but I can control what I do and how those actions make ME feel. There is no blueprint that works for everyone, and getting all kinds of input is what works - FOR ME.
I honestly feel like sometimes people here don't get that I do hear what they say, and it does make a huge difference for me. I respect everyone here, it isn't easy to put your life on display like this.
