Hey Jen, Just catching up on your sitch. As for the text being rude, I don't think it was. I think H had some expectations about how you would be, and you weren't that at all. Sounds like it made him mad. That isn't your fault. That is him. I can see that you have moved on from that a bit. I think you are trying to look at things in a more healthy way. I can totally relate to the "controlling" issues you describe. I think I have been like that with my H. I know that if we ever reconcile it is one of the main things I want to change about our R. I don't like having to be in charge any more than he likes me being controlling. That is a BIG issue in our M. Good luck when they get back into town. Just keep up the PMA and surprise him a little with it. He probably won't expect you to be in a great mood. Show him that your moods don't depend on him.
