Hi nlt,

Yes, my H got very angry with me. I realize that was the only way he could deal with his guilt, that's what I think anyway.
I think you hit the nail on the head here. This is what I learned from a psychologist - that men are susceptible to guilt and shame. To deal with it, they get angry because anger makes the body release endorphins so there is a temporary relief from the pain of guilt.

I notice you don't have kids. Same for me. In my case, it's me who wanted to have kids but he wasn't so keen and went along to please me (for the sake of keeping the peace). Since I came from a dysfunctional family, I see being a good mother a way for me to heal myself (from the absence of a mother in my life). So this also has been hard for me but I am trusting God to heal me His way.

Yes, I am thankful that my H is nice to me and wants to connect with me "romantically".

Thanks for praying. I am praying for you too.
