Hey, klm! Sorry to hear about the fall - ouch! - and like Michelle said, at least it wasn't your face or even worse, like broken bones or teeth - double ouch ! I hope you're feeling better.

Everything seems to be going pretty well! I'm happy for you and your H! Congrats on his new job! Definitely great not just for him, but for you as well. Hopefully less strain moneywise.

I hear ya on how you want more from H. Feels like you're giving more than you're receiving in return. Many times, I felt that way myself. I was making all the changes I needed to, being more of a friend to my H than I had been in the past, giving praise and support when he needed it.....all that wonderful stuff, and then feeling like I wasn't getting even half as much in return. Huge bummer.

Lots of time. Lots of patience. Lots of work. Need lots of all three, don't we?
