Taking the Plunge and Moving to Piecing

Jackie,
Sounds like your doing some good 180s on the IL sitch. I know it must be hard biting your tongue, but remember what Michele says about he see-saw affect. The more you do of something the less your SO will do...so if you're always the one who takes charge on the family issues your H will not. It sounds like you're trying to balance that out and that's a good experiment. Continue to resist the urge to get involved. If you told him it's totally up to him than live that decision...every thing from the decision to go or not go, to the plans if you do go should be handled by him.

Keep looking for more things like this. You'll start getting into the whole mindset of trying different things. When something is working take note of it and don't forget about it. If something isn't working take note of that too..and do forget it.

Keep up the good work on the 180s and positive reinforcements.
