S15 and I have talked about this again. I asked him again if he was going and he said yes. I can't remember the whole convo but I know I ended up telling him that as it is Mother's Day I would like to feel important. I don't think I can spell it out any clearer than that.
I have the opposite experience to you. I always told my H exactly how I felt (sometimes quite vehemently) and it drove him away. He just saw it as nagging and I suspect (no - I know) by S15 feels the same.
I'm trying so hard to change what was not good in my M and yet everyone else is fighting against those changes instead of embracing them.
We just had an earthquake here. Not a common experience in the North of England!
